Wednesday, I took advantage of the visiting shop at Isetan, Café du Jardin. Of Tokyo shops that I've now sampled, this is the farthest away from home. I chose the Cacao d'Or, which by taste is not that different from other chocolate cakes. It has chocolate cream and layers of chocolate sponge cake. I'm not used to this much chocolate cream, extending in a thick layer to the edge. Pretty dairy heavy for me (the whipped cream on top is overkill, in this case), but still definitely good. If they visit again, I'll try a second cake, but I think I'm not going to get back to them this time around.
My run was another neighborhood course run reviewing loops both clockwise and counterclockwise by running them from memory (no looking them up beforehand on the day). It was net loss, since I only managed to do the Jinguumae--Kita-Aoyama loop counterclockwise correctly, but spotted a Starbucks in Jinguumae 1 that made me change the Jinguumae northwest loop, so I have to redo it.
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).
