Visited the newly reopened Coffee Parlor Hilltop. Now, cake is sold out of a counter off the hotel lobby rather than directly from the cafe, which is looking posher. I'm fine with that arrangement. Didn't see my favorite cake from there, but there was a reasonable selection even late. I went with the Biscuit Chocolat, which seems to be all chocolate, though in different forms, from a coating, plate, ganache, and cream. Not not sure but they didn't sneak in some coffee, but maybe I just scalded my green tea. I should have let it warm up more, but still it was at least definitely good and I've decided to say that it's excellent, as I approved of the construction and it was good chocolate, so they are still at the top of the quite fine shops and might move into the exceptional ones. I might end up at the same four shops next week, though it will depend on what I get to this weekend whether I'm looking for that many cakes during the week.
I've been in Tokyo for a while and like to walk, hike, and now run around town. These days, my goal is cake, so I've visited numerous shops. I thought I'd track my running and introduce and review some shops and cake in Tokyo (or possibly beyond).
