For winning one cake-off back, I cycled down to Au Bon Vieux Temps. It was around noon, so some things might have sold out. I decided on Mille-feuille aux Fraises (410 yen?), which is a little standard (custard) mille-feuille with strawberry slices and strawberry jam icing on top, I think. I much prefer strawberry slices for this than large pieces like some similar mille-feuille use (if it were bigger, I'd rather it be bigger horizontally than vertically). It seemed excellent, but I took a little longer getting this to the park, so it was not as chilled as I would want. This would better straight at 4 degC on chilled plate,
The cycling was about 40 km, stopping at four different shops. None had added great cakes that I was looking for, though I could confirm one was continued from previous months. This is my first year of trying to track great cake availability for cake-offs, but it's looking like for the outlying shops (versus the big-brand central shops), once every two months would be plenty.
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).
