Last Monday, which was a national holiday, I cycled down to Paris S'éveille, which is in the running to be my #3 cake shop (in place of Pierre Herme), and ended up with a Choux Parisen, somewhat to my surprise, although I had considered finally getting this standard item instead of the seasonal cake that I expected wrongly for them to still have. Anyway, it's a puff pastry with nuts, basically, which is good, I guess, but still weak as cake, I think. It was my only option that didn't involve coffee, though I've since decided to allow verrine (cake in a glass) to count, if only when there are no other options.
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).
