At Tokyo station, they have a special pop-up store of Black Thunder called "Giri Choco Shop (義理チョコショップ)" from January 12 through February 14, 2018.
Black Thunder is a cheap chocolate bar (30 yen for regular flavor) and this special store is for Valentine's Day promotion.
In Japan, Valentine's Day is to "give chocolate from female to a man you like" but also there's a Giri Choco tradition, which is an Obligation Chocolate, to give inexpensive chocolate to someone you don't have romantic feeling but just as a casual gift.
And on White Day (March 14th), men give back some sweets to females in return, and I feel like they tend to give more expensive confectionery to females, including for the Giri Choco givers, from my experience.

Thus, Black Thunder is so cheap that it's perfect for Giri Choco, and the ad-line at this seasonal shop is even "Obviously Giri Choco in one glance."

There're special Black Thunder chocolates and my husband took photos of the displays.

There're 16 individual pouches inside.

The chocolate was much paler than I though and it's creamy beige and the color reminded me of milk tea.

The chocolate coating was smooth and had subtle caramel flavor, and there're crunchy biscuits and cocoa cookies.
Chocolate flavor was overpowering caramel flavor, but still it's quite good and I wish they had it as regular Black Thunder flavor.

My husband also got me Black Thunder T-shirt.

東京駅では、期間限定のブラックサンダーの「義理チョコショップ」が2018年1月12日〜

2月14日までオープンしている。
ブラックサンダーは通常フレーバーが30円と安く、これはバレンタインに向けた特別な
店舗。
日本では、バレンタインデーに女性から好きな男性にチョコレートを贈る習慣があり、
さらに義理チョコという文化もある。
義理チョコは安価なチョコレートを恋愛感情のない相手に贈るもの。
3月14日のホワイトデーは、男性からスイーツのお返しがあり、義理チョコも含めて
このお返しの値段の方が私の経験上高い設定のことが多い気がする。

このように、ブラックサンダーはとても安く義理チョコに向いていて、この店舗の
キャッチコピーは「一目で義理とわかるチョコ」となっている。
