Très Calme: Mont Blanc

Today, I tried this week's visiting patisserie at Isetan, which is new to me, P. Très Calme, and, because it was the chef's recommendation and meringue (also their #1 seller), got the Mont Blanc for 518 yen, even though usually I skip both short cakes and mont blancs when selecting first (or really up until almost everything else that I can probably call a) cake. This particular mont blanc, being chestnut meringue, had a very subtle chestnut flavor. Inside, was some cassis mousse, and maybe one actual fruit, though that might have just been the core of the mousse that only lightly touched the rest (my memory lasts only seconds). This worked very well for me, as someone who doesn't appreciate a heavy mont blanc, and I will say that was was great. I'll be sure to get back there while they are are easy walking range.
