While recovering from illness (but well enough to work, so no fever), I treated myself to cake. I had calculated that it was time to visit Jean-Paul Hévin again, even if they did not have new cake, which they did. Still very busy with people buying boxes of chocolates, I had to wait a while in line at Isetan, but was able to get one of the two limited-time cakes listed online, the Religieuse (ルリジュース; 719 yen), which is a traditional cake along the lines of an éclair, only as two spheres with pastry cream inside, the red one with rum and the larger chocolate one with chocolate. Though choux pastry is not my favorite as "cake", it was excellent, top to bottom.
