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).

Frédéric Cassel, Inspiration Citron Vert Pomme Verveine
Catching up on cakes for the last couple weeks, if not on cake-off winners or even Frédéric Cassel's cake-off wins, I did a run to that counter at Ginza Mitsukoshi and got the Inspiration Citron Vert Pomme Verveine, which is a pretty out-of-control name. This is lemon verbena scented Bavarian cream, green apple compote, biscuit with lime peel squeezing baked, lime itself, and the hard base must be the sablé breton. The apple decoration is white chocolate, but its all richer than I expected. The apple dominates but harmonizes will with different gradations of citrus. I would say it was excellent.
