There were a couple cakes that we didn't get yesterday at Isetan from Maison g Tokyo (patisserie for Meguro Gajoen) that there was still interest in today, so we got them rather than stand in line at Jean-Paul Hévin for expensive special-event cake (which I was interested as a eat-in experience, but now the chocolate bar has been converted to to make space for Valentine's chocolate season, as happens every year). The cakes are Pistache Fraise and Waguri Mont-Blanc, so a probably white chocolate and pistachio mousse (with sufficient gelatin) around some strawberry part with some nice whole pistachios and a strawberry, and a Japanese chestnut Mont-Blanc with a meringue base and a whole chestnut inside. Both were good, but not better than that. After five cakes and nothing great and a couple only good ones, I may never get down to the actual Hotel in Meguro, though definitely good.
