TSUJIRI was founded in 1860 by Riemon Tsuji who was renowned for his spirit of “YUWA”, meaning "continue to innovate and sustain the tradition". His statue was built in Kyoto, Japan to honor his contribution to the Japanese tea industry. Mr. Tsuji has refined the cultivation of Gyokuro (the highest grade of Japanese green tea) and his method is still being used to this day. He is also the inventor of the tea box that preserves the longevity and freshness of the tea leaves during transportation, making fresh tea from Kyoto available to other Japanese cities a century ago. In 2010, CHAHO, which means tea shop in Japanese, was first established outside of Japan to carry on our founder’s spirit and to serve fresh tea to our customers worldwide.
Reviews about Tsujiri Montreal highlight strong authentic matcha across drinks, desserts and ice cream, with many calling it one of the best matcha spots in town and praising the rich balanced flavor, the range of beverages including lattes and plant based milks, and the dessert lineup from parfaits to mochi and green tea cakes. The menu is noted for its variety, including ramen and green tea udon options in some mentions, and the interior described as stylish, calm, and with ample seating that makes it a good place to study or catch up with friends. Pricing is mixed with some items seen as expensive but many reviewers feel the quality justifies it, and portions are often generous. Service is generally described as friendly and professional, though a rare negative experience with staff is noted. The atmosphere can be busy and noisy at peak times, and a few reviews mention occasional inconsistency in drink sweetness or dessert quality. Overall Tsujiri Montreal is frequently recommended for matcha lovers and is viewed as a reliable destination for both beverages and sweets with a welcoming setting.
So authentic, from the food down to the matcha. Most places claim their matcha is authentic but Tsujiri really means it. The drinks & dessert are delicious. Plenty of space for indoor seating. Staff were very nice & patient too. I found it a bit pricey, but the quality is definitely high.

Plusieurs visites au compteur. Toujours satisfaite. Les desserts & les boissons sont délicieux. En plus de toutes les déclinaisons au matcha qui sont bien exécutées, j'ai apprécié leur hojicha & leur genmaicha lors des visites hivernales.
Absolument délicieux Vraiment le ramen était trop bon tout comme les desserts J'y reviendrais c'est sur ! Une ambiance plus chaleureuse serait peut être agréable toutefois
A really chill place! If you love matcha, this is definitely the place to go to. They have a lot of matcha & yuzu based desserts but also serve savory meals like udons that are flavorful but also very light. I can never go there without their cold yuzu tea!

I've only had Tsujiri's drinks before in Calgary, so to come here & have their food was a great experience. I had their poke soba, incredibly refreshing dish. My friend's tonkotsu soba was rich & flavourful. The matcha latte here was so good. Dessert of one of the Glace Pilee was also refreshing.
After coming back from Tokyo, I have been on the constant hunt for the best matcha in Montreal. This Summer, my partner introduced me to this hidden gem called "Tsujiri." Not only did they have the best matcha I ever tasted, they have a delicious array of matcha & hojicha sweets/cakes/desserts & ramen (their tonkotsu is a must try). & to top it all off, the service at Tsujiri is absolutely top-notch & their atmosphere/aesthetic is so Japanese that sometimes I have to remind myself that I am still in Montreal (sadly) & not in Japan. 10/10 Would recommend to each & everyone I know!
I loveeeee Tsujiri!! Can't beat the matcha & hojicha desserts! Also tried the salmon poke soba & it had a delicious slightly sweet vinegary umami flavour! The parfaits & soft serve are my favourite! The hojicha shaved ice is so refreshing 😋

L'endroit idéal si on adore le matcha ! On peut y déguster à la fois de délicieux ramens, boissons & desserts au matcha au même endroit. (+) Ramen Soba Tonkatsu - Fraîcheur des nouilles soba & char siu hyper goûteux (+) Parfait au matcha - un délicieux mélange de glace au matcha, céréales, fèves rouges, chiffons matchas avec macaron aux fraise (+) Latté au matcha - onctueux latté bien balancé (+/-) Ebiten Sanuki Udon - tempuras auraient être un peu plus goûteux
A staple of Montreal's Japanese dessert places that also offers soba & bowls. Their service can be slowed down when many people come but it's always nice & the taste of a matcha parfait with red beans, jelly & mochis is worth the wait. Sometimes they have gluten-free daifukus or sweet yuzu cheesecake.
Great matcha dessert place. It’s nice that they also have noodles/ ramen, so you can have food & dessert, drinks at one place. I felt the price has gone up a few dollars over the two years.
I wish I discovered this place EARLIER. PERFECT for a MATCHA & JAPANESE FOOD LOVER.
It's an unique hidden gem in downtown Montreal. Love that they both have salty & sweet food.
Start with a drink such as the Yuzu O-Matcha, a perfect cold drink combining these awesome flavors. Then eat your main course : their Tonkotsu Soba is perfect (not overly salty & full of flavor. Their porc melts!). LOVE their Dashi Chazuke where I could taste a lot of different flavors. End with a dessert such as Dessert Parfait & Shiratama Parfait.
Service is super quick & efficient. Staffs are so so friendly & welcoming. Place is clean with a lot of place to seat & to chill.
Thank you so much for your awesome service & food! I am super happy :) I'll come back to taste your desserts on showcase + your udon!
