After you finish your coffee, you are sealed inside of a coffin to block you off from the outside world so you can reflect on your own life. The owner says that the idea for his cafe was actually inspired by Buddhist philosophy and is aimed at encouraging people not to be driven by greed. He said, "our main goal is for the visitor to experience the death awareness. When the lid of the coffin closes, their basic instincts will come up and they will realize that eventually they cannot take anything with them."
