Gramercy New York (Takashimiya): Chocolate tart
Not good weather for running this weekend. Went to Tokyu Hands for tart-making stuff without getting anything (well, I got spray cooking oil nearby) and got the chocolate tart from Gramercy New York. Sorry, I only saved you little to see. It's okay. It's big and chocolaty. I don't know that I've ever had a great chocolate tart, although I've enjoyed Ryoko's. This one obviously has some crunch on top, which is a good idea to go with the pudding-like main part. I don't remember what it cost, but in the 500s I think, which is fine for the size. There are a couple of cakes among the patissieria that I've found that are good, but there are so many that it is hard to keep track. Even the good shops don't necessary send their best stuff, I think. I was trying to go through all of them, cakes and shops, but pretty much gave up.

making another attempt to comment. Looks like you are a long way from running out of cake options! - Doug
ReplyDeleteAnd you are successful. Great!
ReplyDeleteI'm a long way from running out, but I think I'll eat a lot more great cake and compare great cakes between shops before buying much cake at Takashimaya, especially Patissieria, which is why I went with Gramercy. Right now, the only other decent thing for me at Gramercy is their cheese cake, which is their specialty. Seasonal stuff seems to have moved on to jellies and custards, even at good places, since it's hard to keep cake fresh in the rainy season and summer.
