Last Sunday, I did an early run to Viron before my 10 am appointment. The Shibuya shop opens at 9 am and had a cake I was not expecting, the Abricot Amande (or maybe it was Apricot Almond or some mixture of French, English, and Japanese). I also got a pastry, since they've had pretty nice ones so far. I went with the big Croissant Amande, which is a meal by itself, appropriate since I hadn't eaten since the night before. The croissant was excellent, so I'll keep getting fresh pastries from their as I have the opportunity.
The cake was definitely good, and certainly had a traditional feel. Not exciting, but nice, and I could see trying to pair it with a nice English tea, if I wasn't always moving on to the next new thing.
