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).

Matterhorn: Damier
Two days in a row I could try for barely reachable weekday targets. This time was Matterhorn near Gakugeidaigaku Station, which is about 8 km out. This time, I kept the first kilometer to 10 km/h as warm-up and then the rest at 11 km/h. I was in time (they close at 7:30) and coming back was on the low end of 10 km/h, intentionally.
The cake is Damier (ダミエ; 300 yen), for the pattern. It's sponge with some buttercream and chocolate. At that price, I wasn't surprised that there was no box, much less ice. They have cake wedges and layered rectangles for not much more. It's definitely good but also definitely nothing special, just simple cake, frosting, and chocolate coating.
