Got to do some cleaning and never get anything done when I run, so I didn't. Did an indoor workout, though (just sets of simple lifts and push ups).
Ahead of time, I got Yuzu Chiboust for 475 yen from La Vie Douce, which was one of the local patisseries that I said I should visit. My general opinion of them is that they are so-so, and the last time that I had one of the couple cakes that I thought was exceptional (La Vie Bacchus), I was not into it. It's it's a pretty serious looking place, with several people in the kitchen working, and it's only the Tokyo branch (the main shop is in Yokohama). This was great cake. The top is chocolate Chiboust, which is great, and the bottom is a fairly firm yuzu mousse around a little apricot jelly and enough biscuit underneath to hold it together. This was actually recommended on their webpage, so they no it's special, compared to their usual stuff, but I should still go back to look for more special things. Unfortunately, they close at 7 pm (and Mondays), so they are not as convenient as my usual haunts.
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).
