Frédéric Cassel, Tarte Myrtille

Back on September 4, I visited Frédéric Cassel for a new cake. Two weeks the previous month they had special domestic blueberry cakes. Next, they had blueberries as the month's theme. This cake goes by simply Tarte Myrtille, and was excellent, as usual, and suitably different from the recent maybe more traditional limited domestic blueberry version. This is almond cream in the bottom and blueberry cream on tip, with crepe added for texture, I'll say.

Toshi Yoroizuka, Tarte Myrtille

Back on August 25th, so still no memory of the running, but I was certainly on foot, and it was Toshi Yoruizuka's turn for a new cake. It's blueberry season and I went with Tarte Myrtille. It was definitely good, but not act the same level as FC's, though that was special domestic berries, versus berries from where I'm not sure.

Éclat des Jours: Tarte myrtille

Started a little late, but it was cool, so I ran probably as fast as I ever had to Yoso, 12 km/h average (certainly that speed at the beginning, although I had some timing problems, just because I was stopping and starting suddenly, as the opportunity to cross the street became available), but still about 8 km/h coming back, under increasing rain.

As expected Éclat des Jours' selection was very limited, in terms of fresh cake (there were several attractive pastries), so I took the only thing available, the Tarte Myrtille (453 yen). Unfortunately, bilberries are not very exciting. The tart was competent but did not really do anything to overcome the limitations of bilberries and in the end I find that I can't rate it higher than ok, which ends Éclat des Jours' run at being promoted to a Superb shop.

I'll just have to explore other candidates. Guess I'll have to check whether Ryoco has three cakes that I'd like to try, since they have a three-cake minimum, though of course I could try to time a visit there when I can share. Before that, though, Yu Sasage is at Isetan starting Wednesday, so I'll probably take advantage of that.
