1 h jogging and Jean-Paul Hévin

Didn't have a lot of time, so thought I was going to take a quick jog to a new place, but couldn't confirm the location beforehand and didn't find it or want to spend more time looking, so I stopped at Jean-Paul Hévin on the way back. Unfortunately, that didn't work out great either.

Today I got tｗo seasonal cakes, the Mont-Noir and the Marquise for 674 and 618 yen, respectively. The Mont-Noir is a Mont-Blanc with cassis gelatin mixed with the chestnut cream and whipped cream, giving it a purple look. It's sprinkled with chocolate and chestnut power. The base crust is the same great one as the Mont-Blanc, almond meringue, very airy. This is good, but not as good as the Mont-Blanc, I'm told by someone who better appreciates this variety. The Marquise has a hazelnut flavored crust, which is as far as I had read at the store (there is a line outside and I want to try everything anyway). However, if I'd read further, I would have found out that it has coffee (that would have been a deal-killer) and cognac, and chocolate one assumes. Didn't notice that it was coffee when I ate it but did notice that it was not great, although not actually bad, just not something I need.
