Jogged to Ginza, getting two sets of 5 30/20/10 intervals in before I got to the moat course and it became impossible. Went to Origines Cacao first and the pickings were slim, just rare cheese cake and strawberry cheese cake, neither of which were likely to be great (both probably both fine), so I went to Dalloyau and got the Croquant Fraise (crunchy strawberry). This has a macaron base, a custard/caramel middle (not sure) with chocolate around it, a little strawberry gel in the middle, one whole strawberry and one whole blueberry, and a large piece of caramelized sliced almonds. Definitely great, for 540 yen. The chocolate is just enough to complement the custard, the macron is delicious, and the other pieces vary the flavor.
Passed several other shops that I've never been too on my way, but today was a great cake day, so I passed them by. Specifically, I went by Ginza Marquise and Piece Montée, about which I knew nothing, but the first seems to have a hazelnut cake that I'd like to try, Gaku, and the second has a couple, although the ones they list that are not currently for sale sound very good. Maybe they are seasonal. Neither are cheap, but then they are in Ginza.
I was tired from the intense intervals and I had things I need to do at home, so I took the train back.
