Japanese Sado Hamochi Le Lectier Pear (Large)

[Winter Special]

Local farmers brought the first Le Lectier trees over from France in 1903. Hamochi District in Sado Island, part of Niigata Prefecture, is particularly known for producing high-quality Le Lectier pears, contributing significantly to the region’s reputation for this fruit. Le Lectiers are considered a delicacy, as they are more difficult to cultivate than other western varieties and small quantity yields. 

These pears are known for their superior fragrance with hint of banana and smooth texture, with a high level of sweetness. They are picked in late October and are ready to eat by December after they soften and turn yellow.
