Social media is on the rise once more. A coffee shop in Tokyo, Japan, which has been open for more than half a century, has recently become popular around the world because of videos widely circulated on TikTok, Instagram and other social media. The 80-year-old shop owner Shizuo Mori , and also became a popular Internet celebrity “Grandpa Pudding”.
Shizuo Mori took the pudding upside down from the metal mold one by one into the glass bowl, and then poured the caramel left in the mold on each pudding. Only 50 puddings were sold a day. Bully Pudding” is done. The work that Shizuo Mori has done almost every day for the past 50 years has now become the focus of the entire cafe, crowded with tourists from all over the world to record with their mobile phones.
After the epidemic, many foreign tourists who come to Tokyo, Japan now come for “Pudding Grandpa” Shizuo Mori. Even if they wait for a few hours, they still want to try his best pudding.
Shizuo Mori, who has no mobile phone or social media, is very happy regarding his sudden popularity on the Internet, but he still maintains the output of 50 puddings a day, and the price of one is 400 yen (regarding 92 Taiwan dollars). The only thing I feel sorry for is that the number of puddings is limited, and many tourists make a trip in vain.
Shizuo Mori’s coffee shop “Heckeln (ヘッケルン)” located in the narrow streets of Toranomon, Tokyo, attracts many tourists to come and line up for pilgrimage every day. According to the statistics of the Japanese tourism department, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan in February reached 1.47 million people, which has exceeded one million people for three consecutive months. Compared with February 2019 before the new crown pneumonia epidemic, it has returned to the level of 57%.
