Sadaharu Aoki: Saint Marc

As planned, I visited the Marunouchi Sadaharu Aoki for their exclusive Saint Marc (640 yen). This is almond biscuit top and bottom, along with a caramelized layer on top, with layers of vanilla cream and chocolate cream. As usual with Sadaharu Aoki, this is big and well constructed. I'm going to say that this was excellent, although I am some bias toward them, and toward this cake, which my I took this over, for example, green tea and azuki bean cake (though I've also seen an éclair I haven't had recently).

I'm hoping to make a long fast run tomorrow, so I took it somewhat easier today, 10 km/h out and 9 km/h by a somewhat short route of about 5 km each way.
