Sesame Street Market Launches "Hello! Japan" Collection

On May 21, 2026, Sesame Street Market, the unique official store of Sesame Street, will debut its new collection themed "HELLO! JAPAN." This exciting range showcases the beloved characters of Sesame Street—such as Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar—interacting joyfully with local delicacies from six major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa.

The vibrant collection features items that capture the essence of each region's famous foods, allowing fans to enjoy a creative and playful design that embodies the spirit of Japan's culinary diversity:

• - Plush Keychain Charms: Each character transforms into a local delicacy mascot. Elmo brings sushi from Tokyo, while the stylized form of the characters becomes takoyaki for Osaka, melon from Hokkaido, gourmet tempura rice for Nagoya, mentaiko for Fukuoka, and pineapple for Okinawa. The plush charms, made with soft, fluffy texture, are perfectly designed to be attached to bags or pouches, adding charm to your travel. Each one retails for ¥3,850.

• - Stickers featuring Elmo and friends engaging with these treats are also available at ¥550 each. Fans can use them to customize laptops, notebooks, and phone cases, inviting a bit of Sesame Street fun into their daily lives.

Additionally, the collection includes:

• - Magnets and Pin Badges: Featuring characters like Elmo, Terry Monster, Oscar, Grover, Zoe, and Cookie Monster in bright and comedic poses, representing the delicious foods from each area. Magnets and pin badges are both priced at ¥1,320 each. These playful accessories make excellent additions to bags, hats, and home decor, effortlessly brightening up any setting.
