Japan is inventing a solution even for pessimistic people
The “Mori Ochi” café, in a quiet suburb of the Japanese capital, Tokyo, was famous for serving food and drinks only to pessimists and customers with a negative mentality in general, according to the Japanese “Sura News 24” website.
The café owner, Mori Uchi, believes that “there is no shame in having negative thoughts,” describing himself as a “depressing person.”
The idea of the café came to him about a decade ago, but he decided to open it only 3 years ago, during the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic.
He commented: “Negative people are more sensitive and get hurt more easily than others, so I created this exclusive space for them.”
He added: “People always think that being positive is a good thing and being negative is a bad thing, but I don’t think negative thinking is harmful.”
He stressed that “many negative people tend to be conservative in their behavior, which is a type of kindness, and I thought it would be good to have a place for them to relax.”
The café features a cheerful, rustic décor, and has private rooms where customers can be themselves without worrying about the looks of others.
According to the Japanese website's report, the only thing that indicates negativity in the place is the food menu, especially the long and strange names of some of the drinks it serves.
Among those names: “The only good quality about my father was that he was a serious person, but he suddenly disappeared 22 years ago, leaving behind a message saying that Pegasus (mythical winged horses) are real creatures.”
Another type was given this sentence: “Yesterday, I buried the cursed Kokeshi doll deep in the mountain forest, but when I woke up this morning, it was there again on one of the shelves of my room.”
One of the strangest names of the varieties is: “On my birthday, my mother sent me a watermelon from the village, and I did not dare tell her that I no longer liked that fruit.”
