Thursday, I was back in Ginza for a cake from Frédéric Cassel. I don't have much respect for roll cake, but I got the Rouleau Marron as the only new cake. The French term for roll cake is roulé, whereas I think rouleau is like a sushi roll. In Japanese, ロール is English "roll", whereas this uses the reverse ルーロ, so it might be a Japanese pun. Lots of chestnut paste (outside) and yogurt cream with with some chestnut pieces (inside). There's a little bit of chocolate on top, and even a little of that mixed in made for excellent cake, but overall I have to say it was just definitely good. I'm still not convinced that roll cake is a good idea, but this was interesting.
