Heritage: Ambre Noix

Cut out of work as soon as possible (maybe rudely so, but success/failure depended on just a few minutes), and made it to Heritage in northeast Shinjuku-ku in time, though, of course, not many types of cake left just before closing. It's only about 3 km each way, which I did at 11 km/h out and 10 km/h coming back using some unfamiliar back roads.

The cake is Ambre Noix (アンブルノア; 550 yen), I think, since "amber walnut" makes more sense than "jet" (ambre noir). This is walnut, though I didn't read so carefully as to remember walnut what. I suspect some egg, like a meringue or chiboust rather than cream (chantilly), though there were multiple layers, so actually I expect both. In any case, walnut is not a common taste I get with this type of cake and I appreciated it, making this a second excellent cake from what seems to be an excellent shop, so I should get back there again in the not so distant future, although my priorities now are Limevert, Dalloyau, Noix de Beurre, and Morozoff, as well as new places.

It's been a while since I could run long two weekends in a row, so potentially I'll expand my recent two-week top amount by 10% or more, so I don't need to expand my one-week top amount this weekend. Reviewing where I went wrong last Monday, I've found that I was at 118% of my old three-day top amount, which is maybe okay, but I shouldn't be doing it at maximum speed on a cold day, for example.
