The Gourmet Boutique Melissa on the first floor of the Vignette Collection at the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka is selling limited-edition sweets in collaboration with the "Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring" exhibition being held at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka, for a limited time until September 27, 2026.
Johannes Vermeer, *Girl with a Pearl Earring*, circa 1665. Oil on canvas, 44.5 x 39.0 cm. Mauritshuis Museum © Mauritshuis, The Hague
Inspired by Vermeer's masterpiece "Girl with a Pearl Earring," this collection is available at a special shop at the Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art, the "Gourmet Boutique Melissa" take-out shop on the first floor of the hotel, and the official online shop.
The lineup includes three items: a special edition shortbread cookie designed with "Girl with a Pearl Earring," a limited-edition package of the hotel's popular "Royal Langue de Chat," and the "Art Chocolate Gallery," which expresses the colors of the painting in chocolate.
Art Chocolate Gallery – Girl with a Pearl Earring – 3 pieces for ¥2,484 (Limited time sale from August 21st to September 27th)
Particularly impressive is the assortment of three chocolates themed after "Girl with a Pearl Earring." This box delicately captures the light and colors depicted by Vermeer, including the girl's golden turban, Vermeer blue, and the "particles of light" reflecting in the darkness.
Sable cookies (4 pieces): 1,296 yen (Limited time offer: August 21st - September 27th)
One transfer print of "Girl with a Pearl Earring," three plain prints.
Each butter-flavored shortbread cookie comes with a special design featuring a transfer print of "Girl with a Pearl Earring." The playful details, such as the pearl sugar (silver dragee) used to adorn the pearl earring, are also a charming aspect of this product, as they faithfully capture the world of the film.
Royal Langue de Chat (12 pieces) ¥1,944 (Limited time offer until September 27th)
White, Caramel (6 pieces each)
These limited-edition sweets, a must-try for art fans, allow you to enjoy the "light" and "fleeting beauty" found in Vermeer's works through both appearance and taste. Why not relive the exhibition's atmosphere at home?
