A Taste of Sustainability: Hydrogen Roasted Coffee at Head Quarters Cafe Seijo
On October 20, 2025, Head Quarters Cafe Seijo, operated by Odakyu Restaurant System Co., Ltd., will launch an innovative coffee offering called Hydrogen Roasted Coffee. This sustainable coffee is crafted using hydrogen as a heat source, eliminating CO2 emissions during the roasting process. Developed by the UCC Group, this unique brewing method allows for precise roasting control, delivering exceptional flavors that coffee lovers will appreciate.
The Hydrogen Roasted Coffee will be available in a hands-on experience where customers can grind their own coffee beans and brew them using a French press. This process not only allows individuals to engage in the coffee-making process but also accentuates the coffee's rich flavors and aromatic qualities. The robust dark roast is characterized by a deep bitterness and a satisfying aftertaste, making it a great choice for both black coffee enthusiasts and those who enjoy a creamier profile.
As each serving provides about two cups of coffee, patrons are encouraged to explore different taste profiles by adding milk to the brew, which complements the coffee oils beautifully.
Alongside the Hydrogen Roasted Coffee, the cafe will also introduce a special treat: a homemade coffee jelly crafted from the same exquisite coffee. This rich coffee jelly is served with a soft whip and vanilla ice cream, creating a delightful dessert option that highlights the coffee's unique flavor.
The cafe's design reflects a concept of ‘second living,’ providing a warm and comfortable space where visitors can enjoy a harmonious dining experience. The interior is designed with versatile seating arrangements suitable for various customer needs — whether it's enjoying a hearty meal, indulging in desserts, or casually sipping cocktails in a stylish environment. Families can also feel at ease, with ample sofa seating to ensure a relaxed visit.
Head Quarters Cafe Seijo's address is 6-5-34 Seijo, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, on the second floor of Seijo Corti. It opens from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM (last order 9:00 PM) and can be reached at 03-5429-1281.

Since its establishment in July 2003, the company has been committed to providing delightful dining experiences that cater to the diverse preferences of its customers.
