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).

L'Atelier du Sucre: Pave Montmartre
Did a follow-up visit out to L'Atelier du Sucre by bicycle. I got less lost than some other distant trips, but I still got pretty turned around at one point and then sort of wandered between two points that I wanted to visit. I ended up with the endpoint of a history and culture course that I wanted to confirm (which I did: I confirmed that I had gone far enough last time) before wandering south and eventually getting to the cake shop. I ate outside on the terrace again, like last time (which is how I knew going by bicycle would be fine, although there are parks around there, at least within cycling distance). This time I got Pave Montmartre, or at least that matches the phonetics. It's three layers of cream, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel, so it resembles yesterday's great cake in that respect but was very unsatisfying. It was a good, I guess, but not worth coming back. Still, they have fancier cakes than one might expect for the location (and they sell some sec or demi-sec things at a counter at Tokyo Station) and I rated the first cake as excellent, so I should come back in a couple years and try a third.
