13 km run again to Maxim's de Paris: Tours a la fraise

The run was okay. It was more or less the same route as before but I tried to trim some boring parts (no hills) so that I could go farther but ran into the demonstration shown below across from the Diet Building. I think I'll starting coming up further north, which is an even steeper ascent but a little shorter. Also, I need to run on the inside of the moat around the imperial grounds, because for the other side, the road around there is too wide and fast and drivers don't want to slow down for pedestrians when using the turn lane.

The cake was Tours a la Fraise from Maxim's de Paris [Closed shop], which was okay. Under the topping are three layers: strawberry mouse, sponge cake, and chocolate crunch, for 540 yen. It was the closest that I could get to their signature mille-feuille, which even the "mini" version is 1800 yen. If I got a group of people together who want to try it, I would buy it, but otherwise I need to spend my cake money more frugally. Maybe you can get a one-person slice if you go inside the restaurant. 

Anyway, it was good but not more than that. It is still a convenient place that is open late, but there are several other choices that I like better, so it's not a priority to get back there.
