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).

Fiorentina Pastry Boutique, Strawberry Shortcake
Ran down to Fiorentina Pastry Boutique, at Roppongi Hills, who I was two cakes behind on, having promoted them from quite fine to exceptional recently. The corresponding hotel patisserie at Tokyo Midtown, who I need a third cake from won't reopen until Friday. I had shortcake on my mind, since they had three types last time and the peach was excellent, so I got the Strawberry Shortcake, though there were a couple other options. I tried to do a nearby loop with the cake, but between the dark and the rain, I missed the third term, which shouldn't have been a challenge, so I quit and came back. It was raining pretty good, so I used an umbrella and walked with my cake, stopping for groceries near home. The Strawberry Shortcake was good. As shortcakes go, the strawberries were fine. I would characterizing this one by noting that there seemed to be a lot more strawberries than cream between layers, though not a huge amount of either.
