Jean-Paul Hévin, Verrine Chocolat Café

For cake, I went to Jean-Paul Hévin to finally try the Verrine Chocolat Café, which will probably be in for this month from them.

For exercise, I tried to verify clockwise the new Daikanyama-chou--Ebisunishi--Hachiyama-chou--Nanpeidai-chou--Sakuragaoka-chou--Sarugaku-chou--Shibuya--Uguisudani-chou loop (south of Shibuya Station) by bicycle and did well enough (I made mistakes but could immediately correct myself). Next is counterclockwise. On the way back, I say a bicycle and motorcycle collide, but I think they both stayed upright. The motorcycle was turning and the bicycle was trying to go straight. Probably the motorcycle had the right of way, but the bicycle was pretty much doing the normal thing, which is pretty standard for Japanese traffic regulations: safe in theory, except too strict for people to follow, though bicyclists are perhaps the worst offenders in general.

Verrine Chocolat Café was pretty much as good as I could expect. The chocolate mouse was delicious and the coffee part certainly tasted like coffee, much more than the mint did in the mint verrine chocolate. Didn't make me sick, but I'd need to eat a lot more of these (over a period of time) to get used to coffee enough to want it again. I'll call it good.
