Bye bye Tokyo Kaikan

Tokyo Kaikan closed its main building for renovation at the end of Jan, 2014. This is my mother's favorite place as her father used to work back in the old days, and used to bring back cookies and breads they couldn't sell for shops. So their name is strongly connected to her sweet and bitter memory along with taste of their confectionery. Before closure, I run up and bought some table bread for mother, which I mailed her later that day, and cinnamon roll for kids, and this cake called Marron Chantilly, a cake with chestnut cream under whipped cream. It's not like sophisticated latest French style cake though an old school, somehow comforting sweet cake. We'll come back in 3 years when they finish rebuilding.
