We went to the cafe Le Salon Jacques Borie at the Shinjuku Isetan and got cake. There, you choose the number of cakes and the drink that you want and they bring a cake cart around for you to choose. The selection of things that I would want is not large, but then this is only the second time I've been there, so that's not a big problem. The cakes are very good, as is their herb tea. I had a piece of a large Paris-Brest and a slice of apricot tart and also a couple bites of a very soft almond something, that was almost like a bread in sauce. Two cakes are 2400 yen, and one cake and tea or coffee is 2200 yen. That is before tax and 10% service charge. A desert wine was 1500 yen, I think.
It's been a few days since I've been able to run, and I can tell, and not just from the scale. I did a basic loop including the moat. The running felt fine at the time and the temperature was down and I could run hard, but my left foot is not in great shape now, so that's what I need to be careful about if I can't run for a few days.
It was decided that we needed new phones, so I'm trying out the camera on the new one. I took a couple night pictures along Shinjukudoori. These are statues along the route. The fishing boy gets different outfits, but the girl is stuck with a dress that is too short to be swinging around.
I've been in Tokyo for a while and like to walk, hike, and now run around town. These days, my goal is cake, so I've visited numerous shops. I thought I'd track my running and introduce and review some shops and cake in Tokyo (or possibly beyond).
