So my back went from agony if I moved the wrong way, specifically, trying to sit up from leaning back using the muscle on the right side, to discomfort, although it was creeping up through the day. Ran 14 km going first by Origines Cacao (which apparently closes at 8 pm, which I've now written on their card, too late for today due to working late), to Aux Bacchanales, where I decided that I should let the two cakes that I've had stand because they aren't really a great cake shop, just a cafe with a couple great cakes. Still, I want to know where the great cake is, especially if it is somewhere accessible, but I don't need to prioritize trying everything they have. So I went to Dalloyau, which took 51 min of running, but coming back was only 35 min, since I took a basically direct course. That's actual running time rather than total. So 86 min for 14 km seems pretty good under the conditions, with 35 of it carrying cake (with some strong winds, which is one hazard when cake-running).
At Dalloyau, I got L'Echiquier for 540 yen, which in France has half a little white chocolate pawn, but here they don't bother here, though I think that we get more mousse in ours, judging by the picture online from France. Anyway, it's layers of what seem to be white, milk, and dark chocolate mousse with just enough chocolate cake between to make it cake-like rather than just a mound of mousse. The top frosting is good too. Great cake from a great shop. Now, they give me a loyalty card, after I've had almost everything. Only need another 9500 yen of purchases for a free cake, or 19500 yen for lunch, or 29500 yen for dinner.
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).
