Although I've had their cake before and consider them good, I haven't blogged them, so I got some P. Cacahouète (meaning "peanut") cake from Isetan. The selection was not very good (at least after work), so I ended up with New York Cheesecake for 540 yen. It was definitely good and a change. It had a sourness that you don't really find in Japanese cheesecake (or yogurt), which I appreciated, but it wasn't so great as to make me think I need to be paying them more attention. Next week's shop will be a Saitama shop, so I'm not sure that I'll bother, since I've got my hands full trying to keep up with the best Tokyo cake shops, and all the ones I haven't visited yet.
Running was simple: down to the Meiji Gaien "track", two laps, and back. The "middle" lap (because I don't start at the beginning, so I also have starting and ending half-laps) was 625 meters at 10 km/h this time (about double last week's), as three intervals with 8 km/h running. The other lap's worth was a reasonably steady 9 km/h. There and back was a reasonable 8 km/h. I'm busy tomorrow and would rest anyway. Also busy Saturday, but I might fit in a trip along Gaien Walk just to smooth out things. Not going to get back to Oyamadai for Au Bon Vieux Temps, so I'm holding out for a chance to go to Frédéric Cassel again (I'm caught up with Viron until after I get another cake from Dalloyau). Although I'm busy, I'm hoping to still swing some cake, but I might have to satisfied with my macaron stock.
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).
