This eau-de-vie is made only from fully ripe Le Lectier apples delivered from Abe Farm in Shirane district, Minami-ku, Niigata City, which produces delicious fruit that has been bathed in plenty of sunlight under the motto of ``good food good mood.''

Niigata Prefecture is the number one prefecture in Japan for the cultivation of Le Lectier apples, and boasts an overwhelming share of about 80% of the total. The Shirane area of Minami Ward, where Abe Farm is located, is said to be the birthplace of Le Lectier cultivation in Japan, and is truly the town of Le Lectier apples. It is characterized by its rich aroma, smooth texture, and elegant shape. Le Lectier apples do not ripen completely on the tree, so they need to be ripened for about 40 days after harvest.

The Le Lectier grapes delivered from Niigata were aged and then brewed slowly for 30 days using natural yeast before being distilled.

The restaurant was named Monsieur Lectier in honour of the two men: Mr. Lectier, a fruit horticulturist who served the French court as a butler in the 17th century, and the previous owner of Abe Farm, who was the first man in Japan to write a book on pear cultivation techniques.

We have also produced a very small amount of "MONSTER LECTIER", which contains the fruit of Le Lectier sealed inside the bottle. It's a popular story to ask how we got it into the bottle, and you can also enjoy watching the color and taste change as the fruit flavor gradually comes into play.

this eau-de-vie is made exclusively from perfectly ripe Le Lectier fruit from Abe Farm in the Shirane district of Niigata City's Minami Ward, which produces delicious fruit bathed in sunlight.

Niigata Prefecture has the largest area under Le Lectier cultivation in Japan, and boasts an overwhelming share of the market, accounting for about 80% of the total. The Shirane area in Minami Ward, where Abe Farm is located, is said to be the birthplace of Le Lectier cultivation in Japan, and is truly a Le Lectier town. Le Lectier is characterized by its rich aroma, smooth texture, and graceful form. Le Lectier does not fully ripen on the tree, so it requires about 40 days of additional ripening after harvest.

After ripening, Le Lectier arrived from Niigata and was slowly brewed with natural yeast for 30 days before distillation.

Monsieur Le Lectier, a fruit gardener who served the French court as a steward in the 17th century, and his predecessor at Abe Farm, who wrote Japan's first book on pear cultivation techniques. We named it Monsieur Leccier in honor of these two Monsieurs.

A very small amount of "Monster Lectier" was also made, with the Le Lectier fruit sealed inside the bottle. The color and taste gradually change with the addition of the fruit.
