A short stroll from Yoyogi Park in Tokyo, where the Harajuku girls gather in their unique sartorial glory and aspiring rockstars brave winter’s stinging bite to sing their hearts out to anyone who will listen, sits the health-inspired juice bar/cafe known as Forbidden Fruit. But unlike many of the unique characters who frequent Tokyo’s infamous Harajuku neighbourhood, this tiny locale prefers to go relatively unnoticed – except to those in the know. There are no photographs allowed, no website exists, and there’s not a business card in sight. The nonchalant staff, while efficient and very courteous, eye you watchfully as you sip your exotic fruit concoction to ensure that you do nothing that will jeopardise the cafe’s covert existence. Though space is limited, the lustrous decor and intimate detailing sway more towards those of a bar serving liquids of the more intoxicating variety. A contorted chandelier hangs low from the middle of the ceiling, and the limited seating consists of fixed sixties-inspired designer bar stools, with a discomfort factor no doubt employed to discourage lingering patrons. One by one, Japanese twentysomethings dressed in sharply styled streetwear walk briskly through the cafe, acknowledging the staff with a tenuous nod before disappearing down a dimly lit staircase. Your curiosity soon gets the better of you and you can’t resist sneaking down the staircase. A provocative aroma of incense greets you as you reach the dungeon-like entryway and your mind races with what lies beneath the depths of Forbidden Fruit… Next time you’re in Tokyo, why not find out for yourself – take the subway to Harajuku station and wander down Omotesando Street on the left-hand side towards the Tadao Ando-designed Omotesando Hills shopping centre. After all, what’s the point of travelling if you already know what you’re going to find?
