Coco Ange's heavenly cakes
Patisserie Coco Ange, which opened in Tokyo's Roppongi district last November, showcases the creations of chef Masayuki Nakagawa, who trained in France. Each pastry and cake is a work of art in itself, and, as the shop name suggests, looks as it were crafted by the hands of an angel. Try the espoir (¥640), a beautiful creation made of Sévarome pistachio mousse with a passion-fruit jelly center, topped with a gold flake. Take your treat home or enjoy it at Sakura Cafe next door. 21 Roppongi Bldg. 1F, 6-1-12 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo; 03-5411-2525; www.coco-ange.net).

Whaling issue off the science track
As the whaling issue heats up, the focal point seems to be drifting further and further away from the ecological framework. In fact, neither the pro- nor antiwhaling camp seems to talk anymore about "endangered species." The prowhaling group is taking advantage of the dispute as a vehicle for nationalist propaganda. Actually, threats and criticism from the West are what they hope for; provocative terms such as "barbarian," "slaughter" and "murder" only fuel their determination.
