90 min run to Dalloyau: Terre D'agrumes (more updated)

Today was light rain, so I was a little slow, but it seemed to take the usual time to go to Dalloyau. I'm not sure what the Terre d'Agrumes for 540 yen is other than being mousse and fruity (I'm not sure what agrume is in English, but it includes citrus fruits), but it was great, which is what is important. Still, fairly mild, but the flavors added up to something. I'll have to go back to taking notes by pen and paper, since my attempt at photographing the little card through the glass failed, as is often the case. Maybe it would have worked with a real camera instead of a phone. Why the picture of the actual cake with camera didn't come out is a mystery.
Mystery solved: when I open the directory, it shows the wrong image. As you can see, it slid on the trip.

<2nd update> The cake is a short bread base (basically, a cookie), lemon and yuzu cream, orange flavored cake, and strawberry compote. Google translate says "agrumes" means "citrus".

Ginza run to Dalloyau: Douceur de Peche

Today was a normal run to Ginza. Still not so many people along the moat run portion, so maybe people are on vacation in August. This time I got the Douceur de Peche, which is complex. There is shortbread as a base, fromage blanc mousse and peach slice gel around it. There is also a lemon flavored biscuit underneath everything, and vanilla icing on the outside. The outer layer was a little more gel than I like, but for the season, I did not have trouble with it. Great cake from a great shop, so I keep going back. But why the raspberry on top? Seems designed to throw you off.
