Cake was the Mon Régal for 470 yen, which is definitely excellent. Like a well-cooked brownie (not burnt, but crispy/dry, and sugary) on a butter tart with a little raspberry, like 1 mm, and even less chocolate ganache to hold it in place. You can see what I assume is flakes from freeze-dried raspberries on top. Marked as a chef's favorite. I'd like to make it. Great balance between the raspberry and chocolate. I'll include photos of the shop, although there is not much to see at night.
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).

Amitié: Mon Régal
6 km/h walking turned out to be too much. Little surprised I was better enough to go out today, just barely, but stuck to 5 km/h for about 6.5 km, with a pause in the middle for cake at Amitié (you can eat in until 8 pm). Looks like that's as fast as I'll be going for a while.
