Chez Cima: Creme Anjou

Raining, and I don't have a big running budget, so got cake at Isetan. Well, actually I got Creme Anjou (Crème d'Anjou be the correct French), but it's their specialty, I thought, so it seemed fair. I went down to the Meiji Gaien course and did just two laps. On the track, I did 0.9 km at 9 km/h and 1.75 at 8 km/h, but I wasn't good at keep my speed down on the way there and back, but at least it was under 8.5 km/h, I think. Anyway, 8 km/h is my new median/benchmark speed, but my distance is down from two months ago. I'll have to go back to the shortest way to Ginza next time. I'm hoping to do it all running, but I should definitely keep in under 8 km/h and walk part way back again.

The cake (and there really was a tiny bit of sponge cake in the center, though I'm not sure what flavor the red indicated. It was good, and different, but not special. I keep changing how I compute shop rating, but I'm deciding now that one good and two excellent cakes, when I'm choosing the best looking ones, does not an excellent shop make, so both Chez Cima and Demel are going down to "good" status, although maybe someday I'll partition good shops into good and near-excellent shops, and they'l start out in the latter, but I still have 4 greats, 5 near-greats, and 24 excellent ones, so no hurry on that. Cake did not photograph well, with white on white. Might be a settings problem.
