Tourists have been flocking to the Heckeln coffee shop in Tokyo to see its owner Shizuo Mori dislodge caramel sauce puddings from their tins. Mori’s trademark of using a circular motion, which the 80-year-old said was easier on his wrists, has gone viral on social media. Mori said on March 15, 2023, that he was very surprised to see posts of himself on TikTok and Instagram.
