Hediard, Pain au Chocolat

Went for a second pastry from Hediard at Isetan and chose the Pain au Chocolat. Then I went running, intending to do the loop through Gaien, now that the pedestrian bridges connecting it to Minami-Aoyama and Minami-Aoyama to Kita-Aoyama are renovated. The bridges are fine, but it turns out that the north end of the planned loop through Gaien is under construction on the north end, across from the new National Stadium (but they were only ripping up the other side of the road). At least I could do the longer sections of the Jinguumae east loop, the Kita-Aoyama central loop, and the Minami-Aoyama north loop, though the latter has a new access to the main road on the east end, so I used that. Also, I just noticed that Chocolat Chic is no more, though they seemed to be just average as far as meeting my tastes, so I won't really miss them and there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to change the neighbor route by them yet. Shrines and temples are more dependable about sticking around.

The pastry was excellent. The chocolate is just what you see on the outside, though it is enough. It's an interesting design choice. Not sure why the picture is blurry, though the lens gets a lot of abuse.
