Similar but longer run than yesterday: Tranche noisette

I was going to try to plot the route from today, but got lost and Google Maps is slow, so I gave up. Anyway, it was like yesterday, only a little further out from Akasakamitsuke. Today was the 7th extreme heat day in a row, extending the record, that will probably reach 8 tomorrow, doubling the old record.

I got my cake first at Isetan from Chef Fujiu. It was the Tranche Noisette for just under 400 yen, which is nuts and chocolate. The cake is dense and coarse but still a little spongy rather than biscuit-like and the filling is very dense, like butter cream. The description just says nuts and chocolate and that it has some texture, or something like that. Very good. Lost their card already, but they are in Tokyo, but way out west. They open at 8 am, though, which sounds great. That should be my next long run: I can leave at 2 am. But I already have a plan, so I'll stick to it. Maybe in two weeks.
