On select Thursdays & Fridays they offer a home cooked lunch + tea. Shiho was a delightful host & the meal + tea was a great way to slow down & be present. Shop their boutique or sign up for their many events throughout the week & month.

This tea house is one of my favourite hidden gems in the city. The owner is very friendly & knowledgeable about teas, & serves some very yummy desserts that i will definitely be going back for (I haven't tried her savoury dishes yet, but they look delicious)!
The shop also holds a fine collection of cute handmade ceramics that are displayed for sale.
Just note that if you're trying to go to the tea room, it's a shoes-off zone once you pass the curtains! Slippers & boxes for your shoes are provided at the entrance.

Amazing experience, highly recommend getting a reservation on the site for a tea workshop. Can't recommend enough! Shiho Kanamaru is awesome.

A unique experience in Montreal, we loved the matcha & mochi. The tea room in the back is extremely cozy.

I don't have enough words to describe this place. As a well seasoned matcha lover (who visited a green tea plantation in Japan) I loved every second in this shop. From the tea ceremony to the advice from the owner herself, I've never felt this good & carefully listened to in a tea shop. The lady took a lot of her precious time to explain all the different flavours & profiles as well as the brewing technique. I have never felt rushed. Also, the quality of the teas is premium as she imports them directly from her birth country. It was a wonderful shopping experience. I'll only buy my matcha in this place from now on. Thank you so much! Arigato gozaimasu! 🇯🇵🍵

I made a reservation, I came at the hour scheduled. They told me'we don't have room', I was like,'yeah do you want I come later?.. because I precisely reserved to have a place here at this hour..'. They told me'no no' & proceeded to put me on the counter..
Ok, anyway... at some point they managed to find a place, so I went at small table very wobbly..

I came here to drink a good tea in a quiet environment, but unfortunatly, the owner decided it was better to blast stupid dance music with a big speaker..

So yeah, if you reserve, expect that it will be like you did not, & if you are seeking peaceful tea, expect instead nightclub ambiance.

Ah yes, & it costed me for just a tea, more than to eat a complete meal in a not expensive restaurant.

Super expérience pour la dégustation & cérémonie infusion thé vert froid. Shiho était merveilleuse pour expliquer & faire la cérémonie. Nous allons le refaire c'est certain!

We had a lovely tea tasting experience. We were able to book easily online in advance, which made it very simple. The host was pleasant & gave great suggestions. We had the iced green tea that you infuse little by little with ice & water. It was a unique & wonderful experience. Will come back!

Cozy, intimate, excellent tea expertise & service. Delicious homemade seasonal Japanese treats as well, from matcha chocolate cakes to tea soaked risotto. The perfect place to relax.
