Went with the Napoléon Pie, which inside is like mille-feuille (custard and strawberries), but only had a single layer of pastry top and bottom, covering sponge. It's definitely good but not that exciting to me. We also went with the full Crêpes Suzette package, with seasonal fruit (already forgot; peaches?) and ice cream. Again, not so much my thing, but an interesting experience. They make them next to your table, so it's a whole show with commentary. For the pictures, the picture of the cake was before splitting, but they split the crêpes for us (though we had to split the ice cream ourselves. so it was not perfect).
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).

(Sun.) Henri Charpentier: Napoléon Pie
After visiting the pond at Ueno Park, we went down to a Ginza for a café. At was after 7 pm, so we went with Ginza Henri Charpentier, where the last order was 7:30 pm, which was fine with us. There might have been one other customer there, but a couple people might have arrived after us, though a friend said they couldn't visit when they tried. Guess it varies.
