Sapporo City Tram “White Black Thunder” starts operation today! First unveiling of a train where you can enjoy the world of Hokkaido souvenir “White Black Thunder”

To commemorate the operation, a departure ceremony will be held at the temporary stop of the streetcar Susukino.

Yuraku Confectionery Co., Ltd., in collaboration with the Sapporo Transportation Service Promotion Corporation, which operates trams, will hold a departure ceremony on April 5 (Tuesday) to commemorate the operation of the Sapporo tram "White Black Thunder". We went to the temporary stop of the tram Susukino.

The White Black Thunder series was launched as a souvenir from Hokkaido in 2011, and has grown into a new standard souvenir from Hokkaido 10 years after its release, with cumulative sales exceeding 100 million units in 2017. Nowadays, it is available in various sizes, and small pouches and big share packs that are convenient for spreading are also on sale, and are popular as souvenirs that are easy to distribute.



However, while "White Black Thunder" is popular with customers as a souvenir from Hokkaido, it is not well known to Sapporo citizens that it is manufactured at a factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido. In response to this situation, the road surface has been popular with Sapporo citizens for many years because we want local Sapporo citizens to enjoy the "white black thunder" that is popular as a souvenir for traveling. We will carry out wrapping of the train.
At the departure ceremony, in addition to the unveiling of the wrapping train, Toru Fujii, President of Sapporo Transportation Service Promotion Corporation, and Kawai, President of Yuraku Confectionery Co., Ltd., took the stage to cut the tape.
Going forward, we will continue to grow as a sweet that is loved by everyone in Hokkaido through the operation of trams that are full of the world view of "White Black Thunder".
