Got this week's fresh cake from Pierre Hermé via Isetan: Éclair Infiniment Chocolat.
The running was once along the second half of the Shinjuku History & Culture course (which is from Shinjuku 1-chome to Akasaka), which is about 6 km, at 10 km/h, despite hills and stairs, and another 6 km home (well, a convenience store, really) by way of the Ichigaya Nikunohanamasa to get some roasted peanut pieces for making peanut butter, at 9 km/h. It was hot, due to being too hot a day and cloud cover, though I started after 8 pm, but not terrible, so I survived despite forgetting to bring water.
Éclair Infiniment Chocolat was definitely good, but not special, just a straight chocolate éclair. Maybe I'll try one of their baked goods tomorrow, as a non-patisserie day. I'll have to go to Omote Sando, since Isetan is closed.
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).
