[Kobe] Akito: Gateau Chocolat & Yuzu et Chocolat Lait

I've been to enough cake shops in Kobe that I thought I should start posting on them. Also, I don't go to Kobe enough that I need to include areas outside Kobe to start. (I've looked, but can't say that I've had better luck in the richer neighbor towns.)

One place worth visiting is (Patisserie) Akito, which has a café space and is known for its milk jam. Went there and got Gateau Chocolat, which was good, as a heavier cake, where it has what I would call icing rather than glaze (or ganache). The other cake was Yuzu et Chocolat Lait, which is what it sounds like, and was excellent. Yuzu is often combined with milk chocolate with good results. 

Unlike for Tokyo, I'm not going to try to add every shop I've visited already to the map, as most places I've visited are better forgotten (which would perhaps also be true of Tokyo if I visited every single shop I could find rather than just the ones that I have some reason to think might at least be good).
