Origines Cacao fail, Dalloyau

Tried to go to Origines Cacao, regretting not getting one of their cakes last time I checked there. Just wanted to do a simple run today, but found myself going relatively fast. It's 6.9 km, taking the usual route, and my time was about 37' (forgot to stop my chronometer at one red light, so I'm guessing from the 38'05'' that I recorded), which is good for the conditions. However, Origines Cacao closed early (6 pm) for reasons that I did not hang around reading the sign long enough to find out (just long enough to read a couple sentences of formal apologies), but it seemed to be just a today thing. I won't try going there again this week, though, I think. I should check the web site. Could be the butter shortage again (I know I failed to find unsalted butter for baking at three places, at least the regular stuff, versus the exotic expensive brands).

So I went to Dalloyau (getting a little lost because I'm used to coming from the other direction) and got the Tarte Fruits Rouge for 540 yen. It's a pistachio tart base with a little lemon cream to hold a strawberry and a ring of raspberries. It is excellent, and I'm happy to have had it and would enjoying having another one, although it is not exciting so I can't add it to the list of greats. I wonder what more lemon cream would have been like. These mostly fruit one never really thrill me.
