Niigata Le Lecte Baumkuchen
A moist cake with the gentle aroma of pear floating through it. This tall, stylishly designed baumkuchen is a charming creation born in Niigata. Infused into the batter is the specialty Niigata Le Lecte pear, often called the 'Lady of Pears.' It is a representative Western pear of Niigata, with cultivation said to have begun in 1903 (Meiji 36) when seedlings were brought from France to what is now the Minami Ward of Niigata City. It is known as a fruit that requires great care, as it undergoes a slow ripening process for about forty days after harvest. Its mellow fragrance gently melts into the many layers of the baumbkuchen. Since it can be easily sliced and shared, it makes a perfect souvenir. A happy slice infused with the bounty of Niigata.
