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.
We were passing & we saw the name "matcha"...so we decided to stop & have a drink. The service is ok, there are some tables inside & outside, many people with tablets seems like working , enjoying their snaks ...we seated outside to have our matcha drinks & contemplate life calmly. Apparently the matcha has good quality cause it's not so bitter . The latte matcha is creamy & warm. Delicious!! I miss a little bit of originality & personality . The place is ok but very comercial.
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.

I have been here many many times. But today I learnt something new, never never order a drink with no ice in here, otherwise you will get a drink less than half a cup. There is no exaggeration & I understand normally no ice drink would be a bit less, that's okay. But seriously less than half a cup for $8 Macha yuzu?
I love the drinks, especially the Kinako latte & the Azuki latte. I am glad they offer different choices for the milk, & also how much sugar you want in it. I tried a few of their cakes, they are great too: I loved the O-Matcha, the Hojicha chiffon cake, the Yuzu cheesecake & the Mont-Blanc. I appreciate the packaging for the cakes, the boxes have a little handle on the top, which makes it easier to carry home. Good service as well. Hope to try the savoury food too, someday.

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!
Come here during the summer heat to cool down! The shaved ice cream, coolers & desserts made for an excellent place to take a break from the heat. There is enoughs eating for a group of 4 or more. But seating is limited indoors. There is more seating outside.
The Kuromitsu Matcha Shaved Ice was MUCH better than expected. We were expecting a very sugary sweet shaved ice but it was very well balanced with the matcha & brown sugar syrup! This definitely cooled us down. The matcha tiramisu is a nice dessert as well! The one order we got was more than enough for us 2 & it wasn't too sugary at all.
Our drinks, the Houjicha Latte & Azuki Matcha Latte were amazing drinks. Very well balanced drinks that were too sugary & the flavors weren't too strong. It was superb to drink during a hot summer city afternoon. We wished we could have tried other desserts but our orders filled us up quite good! Would highly recommend coming here if you're in the area.
I keep coming back to this place. They have a lot of dishes & drinks that are difficult to find elsewhere. Personally i really love anything made with Yuzu & Matcha so if you do as well, this place is perfect for you. The service is fast & courteous.
