Noix de Beurre: Chocolat Léger

Decided that yesterday was a new shop, so I should do a "great shop" today and save the next new shop for tomorrow. Also, wanted to do upper body workout at home and not mix it with running (which was how things starting going wrong last week). Went to Isetan and got the Chocolat Léger (yes, I'm tired of ignoring the accents) for about 600 yen from Noix de Beurre because, although I list them as "great", I've only blogged them once. 

As the name of the cake says, this is a light chocolate, which is inherently not that great (chocolate should be dark, or mixed with something stronger than cream). It's been a while since I had this, so I couldn't remember why it was just okay. Actually, I think I'm ready to downgrade this shop to not great, although I'd still have to try the Mille Feuille again to see how it stacks up, so to speak. In detail, this is thin layers of cake separating two thicker layers of cream and one layer of chocolate cream. Outside, is ganache with whipped cream on top. It's good as light chocolate cake, but not exciting enough to come back to.
