13 km run to Maxim's de Paris: Cinq Chocolat

[Update] This shop seems to have closed.

Today, I jogged 13 km. The route featured Meijijinguugaien （明治神宮外苑), which is used as a jogging loop by many people and went by the the National Stadium, until recently (Tokyo 2020 preparations), Akasakagoyouchi (赤坂御用地), up Niisaka (?) 新坂, just for fun, around the Diet Building (国会議事堂), across from the route around the Imperial Palace (皇居), and around the outside of Hibiya Park (日比谷公園). So lots of green, some slopes, and lots of cops.


The cake stop was Maxim's de Paris (マキシム・ド・パリ) Ginza shop (it's a restaurant, but there is a cake counter out front of B2 of the Sony building inside the underground passage tunnel) for 648 yen, the Cinq Chocolat ("five chocolate") cake (サンク・ショコラ ): chocolate mousse ( ショコラムース), chocolate sponge (ショコラスポンジ), chocolate crunch (ショコラクランチ), milk chocolate cream (ミルクショコラクリーム, and chocolate glazing (グラサージュショコラ）, shown here. It was well made, but about half would have been enough for me, which is often the case. I guess I'm getting tired of chocolate mousse, which dominated. I definitely want to go back for something else, especially since this was not their specialty, which is the mille-feuille (ミルフィーユ).
