Tuesday, I failed again to get cake at Sadaharu Aoki, but reserved a piece to guarantee on Wednesday (as long as work didn't run too long). So once again I ran to Ginza, this time for Mitsukoshi and a cake for winning a cake-off. Since the winner was Feuille d'Automne, it seemed reasonable to get the Feuille d'Automne Rouge from Lenôtre, which is a raspberry version for Christmas. Ran both ways, this time, just to get home earlier, as I still had the indoor workout with weights to do.
As it happens, adding raspberry was in no way a bad idea, and this was a second new great cake in two days, as I had hoped. Both are seasonal, so I know what the next cake-off should be, since I don't have any other pairs of undefeated cakes ready to go. Guess I know where I'll go next Tuesday: Isetan (where Lenôtre is visiting for the week, or at least I assume that it's the regular week, though I better check, as Christmas disrupts the usual schedule).
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).
