Cake-off: Michalak' Mont-blanc versus Jean-Paul Hévin's Saint-Honoré

Had the morning off on Friday, so I got cakes for a cake-off. Timing was not so great, as I was somewhat rushed and full already, but there's always something. I wanted a cake-off for Jean-Paul Hévin's Saint-Honoré, which is available only the second half of September. As the other cake for a second-round cake-off between winners, I choose the recent Michalak' Mont-Blanc. Both of these are available at Isetan and both a pretty decadent. I'm probably biased by too much chocolate and caramel lately, but I choose Michalak' Mont-Blanc as the winner, but I could go the other way on another day. Fortunately, not rocket science, so future rounds level things out (though only one cake can the the last to remain undefeated). I should confess that I very carefully removed the saint-honoré from its box and then dropped it on its side (facing away).

I did do some running at night. I finally got Moto-Azabu--Azabu-Juuban loop counterclockwise correct, completing it. Characteristically, I immediately decided that I was not satisfied with the route and revised it so I would go by a temple on the same side of the road (rather than having it across a two-lane road), so that loop remained the top priority.
