Hi folks,
I'm new here, but I feel it's impossible to talk about Niigata specialities w/out mentioning "sasa-dango"! I just love the smell and taste of that snack. It always brings back childhood memories...
And speaking of pears, there's a pear I tasted a few winters ago in Niigata that was so good and sweet, but I don't know what variety it was. It was yellow, shaped more like a European pear, and individually wrapped in clear cellophane. Sorry, I can't find a picture of it.
Hiroyuki, I'm glad to hear you and your family is okay. I'm really impressed w/ your knowledge of food and your English!

Le Lectier?

In Niigata, two Western varieties are grown, La France and Le Lectier.
Thanks for the compliment. I like sasa dango, too, expecially the flavor of those bamboo leaves.
Just out of curiosity, Nikkeijin is 日経人?![:biggrin:](https://forums.egullet.org/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png)
