Raw chocolate chunks 'Raw Black Thunder GREAT SELECTIONS' & 'Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat' perfect for obligatory chocolate tasting review
'Raw Black Thunder GREAT SELECTIONS,' a set of milk chocolate and white chocolate flavors of 'Raw Black Thunder, ' a luxurious bar of raw chocolate, was released on January 15, 2026. In addition, ' Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat ,' an individually wrapped type made with Belgian chocolate and finished with a moist texture like gateau chocolat, also appeared on the same day. Both products arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department, so I actually ate them to check the appearance and taste.
'Fresh Black Thunder GREAT SELECTIONS' and 'Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat' will be released on Thursday, January 15, 2026 | Announcement | Yuraku Confectionery Co., Ltd.
On the left is the fresh Black Thunder GREAT SELECTIONS and on the right is the Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat.
First, I will try raw Black Thunder GREAT SELECTIONS.
It's called Semi-Chocolate and comes in two varieties, 'Black' and 'White,' both of which contain chocolate, cream, cocoa cookies, plain biscuits, etc.
The calories per bottle are 636kcal for BLACK and 666kcal for WHITE.
When I opened the box, a black and white chocolate bar appeared.
It's about 14cm long. To get a sense of its size, hold it in your hand like this.
I put it on a plate. The top is black and the bottom is white. Both have a smooth surface.
We cut BLACK with a knife to check its cross section. It contains raw chocolate, cocoa cookies, and plain biscuits wrapped in milk chocolate. 34% of the milk chocolate is Belgian couverture chocolate.
When you try it, the texture is clearly different from the usual Black Thunder, with a softer texture and a sticky texture, and the sweetness of the chocolate spreads in your mouth. The cocoa cookies and plain biscuits have a crunchy texture, so you can definitely tell they're Black Thunder friends. Brandy is used as an ingredient, and it contains 0.2% alcohol.
This is what the WHITE chocolate looks like in cross section. It consists of raw chocolate, cocoa cookies, and plain biscuits wrapped in white chocolate. The white chocolate contains 4.9% meadow milk from Swiss dairy cows.
Like the Black Thunder, the White chocolate is characterized by a softness that is unusual for a Black Thunder. The White chocolate is quite sweet, and rather than being a chocolate that lets you enjoy the flavor of cacao, it feels more like a chocolate that lets you enjoy a rich sweetness. Both the White and Black chocolates melt on the tongue, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of eating a higher-quality chocolate gift.
I will also try Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat.
Ingredients include Belgian chocolate, semi-chocolate, chocolate cake and chocolate chips.
Calories per bag is 95kcal.
The Black Thunder GREAT Gateau Chocolat came in a pack of 10. They were individually wrapped, making them easy to share with others.
It looks like this.
The chocolate cake is wrapped in a chocolate coating, giving it a moist texture. It doesn't contain any cookies or biscuits, so it doesn't taste like Black Thunder at all. The chocolate cake crumbles in your mouth, making it a fun chocolate treat.
