Cake-off: Viron's Mille-feuille over Pierre Hermé's Deux Mille Feuille

Still cycling. Went first for the cake, first to Viron near Shibuya Stn. (which opens at 9 am) and then, after some other shopping, to Isetan, where it turned out that bicycling parking was not free for even the first hour. Should have gone to a different Pierre Hermé if I was not willing to walk. The rest of the day was touring down through Meguro-ku and Setagaya-ku confirming or failing to confirm some cakes, for example.

The cake-off, like many, was difficult to decide. Both mille-feuille are the highest quality I know, both have something, traditional icing for Viron and praliné mousseline and paté feuilletée (apparentely) for Pierre Hermé, but they are fairly equivalent mixed with everything else. That being the case, I'm going with the traditional-style from Viron, despite my preference for Pierre Hermé generally.
