15 km to Origines Cacao: Alicante

It turns out that it takes about 45 minutes to get to the Nihonbashi Takashimaya, which is 15 minutes less than I left myself, but I could still get in and look around enough to see that they did not have what I wanted at the Au bon Vieux Temps counter (I wanted sauces, but they seem to just have cookies). Next I went to Origines Cacao, where I expect them to be sold out, but they weren't. Fortunately, although I didn't remember, I didn't get the thing that I had already gotten there (although that had been great), but instead got the Alicante (I think the Roman spelling is correct) for 550 yen, which is pistachio mousse around chocolate cream (again, I think; I'll need to go back and confirm; it seemed rather nutty). Really great cake. I've got to go there more, even if it is small and inconvenient. I managed to reach the 105 min mark before sitting down to eat it (I was out for 2 hours, although there were the usual stoplights and stops for shopping). Today, of course, Libertable had Zennith, but I already had my great cake, so no problem.
