Frédéric Cassel, Inspiration Mirabelle Pécan

Had that exhausted feeling in the morning, and though it dissipated by the afternoon, I hadn't done my indoor workout for more than a week, so in the evening, I chose the bicycle to go to Ginza and get cake from Frédéric Cassel, Inspiration Mirabelle Pécan. This is a seasonal cake, probably just for one month, and the last inspiration was great and this one sounded promising, so I had been looking forward to it all month. After returning home, doing the full indoor workout (30+ minutes of different high-intensity exercises for abs, back, up through the arms and shoulders), and eating dinner, I had the tart.

It was very pie-like in texture. Mirabelle is a kind of small plum, which this apparently has both compote and roasted bits of (I assume that's what "roti" means) on a lime cream tart with a biscuit which uses rice flour, plus pecans, of coarse. Not a strong taste, but rich in a certain way. I would say that it was excellent.
