Celebrating the 1st Anniversary of 'Black Thunder Waku Zaku Factory': Commemorative Products and Campaigns Launched

## Celebrating the 1st Anniversary of the Black Thunder Waku Zaku Factory

Yuraku Confectionery Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kodaira, Tokyo; President: Tatsunobu Kawai) is launching limited-edition products and SNS campaigns to celebrate the first anniversary of the 'Black Thunder Waku Zaku Factory,' the only facility where visitors can tour the production of Black Thunder.

Black Thunder was created in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, in 1994 and has been manufactured there for over 30 years. In May 2025, the company opened the 'Black Thunder Waku Zaku Factory,' its first factory tour facility. On May 27, 2026, the facility celebrates its first anniversary.
