Decided to combine a run to Dalloyau with researching Plaisir. Plaisir was where it was supposed to be (according to the paper posted on their home shop door), Meguro Station Atre and they had cake, so I'll head down there again to visit them before they shift operations again. Running was a little over 14 km, averaging a little above 10 km/h.
Maybe because it was Friday night or maybe because this was not the main shop, they didn't have any actual cakes I hadn't had, but I was resigned to trying one of their chou a la creme. Putting off trying a chou cubique, I got the Chou d'Amour Chocolat Tannea 72 (540 yen), where the name refers to the chocolate used in the cream. For chou creme, it was good. Compared to just cake even, and it was fairly cake-like, to the point that I used a fork and knife to get started, it was definitely good. Still not something I need to repeat, but not disappointing. I'll go to the main store in a week or so, though I have a good list of other places to go.
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).
