Today, I jogged down to Tokyo Midtown using 1 min comfortable, 1 min hard running intervals, 15 total. The Toshi Yoroizuka there had the cake that I was looking for the other day, MT Noix (actually, in the shop, this has become "Em(p)ty Noah" phonetically for some reason, but "Noix" makes more sense as far as being a nut, even though I'm not sure that there is any noix---walnut---in it; the "MT" is "Midtown") for 570 yen. This is hazelnut cake and hazelnut praline cream along with chocolate cake and nuts and chocolate on top. It is a great cake. Neither the praline nor the chocolate is too strong, so I don't get tired of it halfway. It moved around a little in its base, so there are some loose nut pieces on the plate; it's kind of too tall for its own good.
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).
