*Alcatraz* is a [prison-themed restaurant in Tokyo, Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginza-41).

This establishment is a bit too quaint and esoteric for my taste, but if this place holds some allure for you, then you will undoubtedly get a kick out of the cells in lieu of tables and booths. Alcatraz also has a cocktail named *Lethal Injection*. There are also dishes called *Adultery Dish* and *Incest Salad* for the discerning, discriminating patrons.

What can we call this? [Kink cuisine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-fine-dining)?
