The Japanese creativity and dedication to desserts always bring delightful surprises, whether in taste or visual refinement, both worthy of admiration. Recently, the most talked-about must-buy dessert in Japan is the Earth-shaped lollipop launched by the Sendai Observatory, which transforms the Earth into candy with an incredibly high level of detail—clearly showcasing blue oceans and white clouds, perfectly presenting the Earth’s scenery like a gem.

Located in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, the Sendai Astronomical Museum has officially entered its 60th anniversary since its opening in 1955. To celebrate, the museum has launched a series of special events and exhibitions, including fun merchandise, among which the most eye-catching is the Earth-shaped lollipop. This beautifully crafted Earth lollipop is part of a candy series produced by Tokyo Asakusa’s Ame-Shin, meticulously designed from the perspective of astronauts viewing Earth, with great attention to color and pattern details. Additionally, apart from the Earth design, the observatory has also released a Moon version, allowing visitors to take home both.

Each Earth and Moon lollipop is priced at 200 yen. If you’re traveling to Sendai, don’t forget to visit the observatory and pick up an Earth lollipop as a souvenir—it’s sure to be a hit with everyone.
