| Ginza Mitsukoshi with a line before the start. |
Did a shared cake-off last Sunday, so I was basing on half a cake, which probably matters, but is not so important. This top it was cakes from the top two cake shops, both a Ginza Mitsukoshi, and both newly available again, though they were still on short hours that weekend.
Frédéric Cassel's Fraisier was the seasonal priority, whereas Jean-Paul Hévin's Guayaquil is their main chocolate cake, and always available. As far as cake-offs go, this is a fourth round, with both of these having lost one of three. Great cakes, but I really like the strong chocolate taste of Guayaquil. Wish I had a little more, because there was something about the texture that I was noticing---I might get this again this year just to do some temperature experiments, since I'm due for another cake from them, and they don't even have excellent cakes that I haven't had twice yet.
