When I was in Tokyo, I had yet to acquire my copy of Patisserie of Pierre Herme book. Hoping that the PH boutique in Tokyo would carry a full selection of chef's cookbooks, I went to the Hotel New Otani in Akasaka. The boutique was must smaller than I expected and it had merely three display pedestals for pastries. I ordered the 2000 feuille and plasir sucre and enjoyed my afternoon tea in the adjacent Cafe Satsuki. The decor of the cafe was very 80's but I was not there for the decor anyway. The 2000 feuille was very flaky as expected but I particularly enjoyed the caramel taste. The plasir sucre was also very delicious. Too bad I did not try these two items when I was last in Paris otherwise I could offer a direct comparison.
