A cafe in Tokyo is famous for catering to pessimists and people with a negative mindset. According to Forbes, Negative Cafe and Bar Mori Ouchi is located in Tokyo's Shimokitazawa neighbourhood and is advertised as a soothing space for gloomy people. The owner of the cafe, who himself is suffering from depression, got the idea for like-minded people over a decade ago but only decided to open it during the Covid pandemic in 2020. The eatery lets people release their crankiness and is deemed suitable for individuals navigating challenging phases in their lives or harbouring pessimistic thoughts.
"People always say that being positive is good and being negative is bad, but I don't think being negative-minded is such a bad thing," the owner of the cafe said, as per Forbes. "I think a lot of negative people tend to be reserved in their attitude, which is a form of kindness, and I thought it would be nice for there to be a relaxing place for them," he added.
According to Japanese media outlet Sora News 24, the cafe boasts of woodland decor and private rooms, where customers are free to be themselves. Mori Ouchi also has an entry requirement which only allows unaccompanied women. Men, on the other hand, are not admitted unless there's also a woman in their party.
