Meet our Japanese Coffee Specialist
Takayuki Sekiguchi
Mr. Takayuki Sekiguchi, a coffee specialist from Japan, began his professional career in the coffee industry as a distributor of Hawaiian Queen Coffee in Japan and Korea in 2010. He is a Certified Coffee Coordinator and manages the distribution of finely roasted beans for both online retailers and consumers.
With his extensive experience as a Certified Coffee Coordinator, he possesses profound knowledge in Product Development and Supply Chain Management. This expertise has enabled him to develop a deep understanding of various varieties and origins of Green Coffee Beans, allowing him to skillfully roast and brew them to achieve their optimal flavor profiles.
His vision for the Philippines is to enhance and uplift the Filipino Coffee Culture by delving into a profound comprehension of the underlying principles within each cup of coffee. In line with this overarching goal, the team at "Be the Reason" aims to provide a distinctive and unique experience to our patrons. We aspire to achieve this by enabling them to personally engage in the roasting and brewing processes of coffee, thereby deepening their connection with the beverage and the culture surrounding it.
The Philippines once served as Mr. Sekiguchi's second home, as he resided here for two years with his parents four decades ago. His return to this familiar place feels like a heartfelt homecoming.
