Got a late start due a morning appointment, but was able to get both cakes for the cake-off starting by running to Jiyuugaoka for Paris S'éveille's Un Dimanche à Paris, and then coming back by train and waiting about 30 minutes in line (White Day next week) to get Violette from Jean-Paul Hévin at Isetan (I assume Tokyo Midtown would have been faster, but less convenient), which is only around through March 18. I was happy with both of these cakes. Un Dimanche à Paris maybe owes more of my appreciation due to novelty, being my favorite coconut cake, but that's not bad. Violette is a standard JPH chocolate mousse, this particular one cassis, so it's weakness is maybe lack of novelty, but consistently good cake is what keeps JPH at the top of my list.
