I'm getting behind again on posting, and can only partially blame it on fiddling with my neighborhood map (although I've added photographs to all but 4 places of the SE of Yotsu 3-choume Station, which is the biggest neighborhood map).
Friday night, went for a sixth cake to Bien-être, in the Yoyogi area (actually Uehara) and got Sicilienne for eating in. This was pistachio again from them, this time with cassis (black current. The bottom is a sort crunch chocolate slab. The top layers is pistachio gelatin which easily peels off. The cassis layer is a little wet and is surrounded by regular cake (somewhere between sponge and biscuit). The gelatin put me off, though it was not too bad. Actually, it was definitely good, but was more a sort of traditional sugary fruity cake than I'm very excited about, so it was somewhat disappointing. But still, definitely good, which is a step up from the previous day perfectly respectable.
Place around with finding an alternate route and repeated past mistakes then left me looping back to my starting road at one point (but further in the correct direction), so I ran 11+ km rather than the ~10 km that I could do it in by my usual route (which is not the shortest route, which I may try again now that I know that jogging through Harajuku at night is fine (it's not too crowded).
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).
