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 describe Tsujiri Montreal as a popular destination for matcha fans with a broad menu of desserts drinks and some savory options like ramen and soba; matcha is praised for richness and authenticity though some items are described as less strong or overly sweet and a few desserts feel pricey or inconsistent in quality; the atmosphere is often described as cozy and Japanese inspired with ample seating good for studying or catching up but it can get crowded and noisy in peak hours; service is generally friendly and professional with staff helpful and attentive though isolated rude experiences are noted; the cafe also receives compliments for its modern decor and variety of offerings like hojicha yuzu and kuromitsu desserts; overall it comes across as a top choice for matcha in Montreal delivering strong matcha desserts and drinks in a welcoming setting with some items needing closer consistency.
J'ai récemment visité le Tsujiri de Montréal & j'ai été très déçu par mon expérience. La boisson que j'ai commandée, un matcha & un matcha latte, était extrêmement amère & avait une texture farineuse en bouche, ce qui ne reflète pas les standards élevés de Tsujiri que j'ai apprécié. Lorsque j'ai demandé à l'employé comment le matcha était préparé, on m'a dit que l'eau bouillante était utilisée, car'plus haute était la température, meilleure c'était.' Cela va totalement à l'encontre des pratiques traditionnelles, où une eau à soixante-dix à quatre-vingts degrés est recommandée pour préserver les arômes délicats & éviter une amertume excessive. Si vous souhaitez vraiment profiter des saveurs authentiques du matcha, je vous recommande d'acheter leur poudre directement au magasin & de la préparer vous-même à la maison. Cela garantira une meilleure expérience & un respect des méthodes. En revanche, je ne conseille pas de commander des boissons sur place, à moins qu'ils ne corrigent leur façon de les préparer. Il suffit de regarder le site web de tsujiri global (ci-joint) pour voir comment la préparation de la boisson doit être faite. Si des ajustements sont faits pour améliorer la qualité des boissons & respecter la préparation, je serais heureux de retirer ce commentaire & de revisiter l'établissement.

Love the color of Matcha latte! Such a fresh dark green color I was looking for! Strawberry short cakes was so creamy & tastes simply amazing! One question about service is that my friend said she paid tips so the staff is supposed to bring the food over but they didn't.
amazing experience. the service & quality of the food is perfect ! there is a lot of room inside to sit & it's not too busy either. perfect for working or just spending time while having food / drinks. the matcha lattes taste better than any other place i've been to. the staff is always so nice & welcoming :)!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to try new places & try new dishes !
The staff were okay, not rude but not welcoming. The matcha latte is just milk cant taste the matcha. It's also on the pricy side. The matcha cake was bland, no flavor. The yuzu tea was great. The place is cute.
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.
Such a great spot to study, for dates, or for good Japanese matcha goodies! We ordered their matcha cake, matcha latté & matcha mochi parfait! The matcha was so flavourful & strong, which is exactly what you want! They also sell ramen as well! The atmosphere was really good & a lot of seating!

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 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.
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
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.
