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.
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.
It's not easy to find an authentic Japanese restaurant in Montreal at such an affordable price, but Tsujiri is a great choice for us. I could easily eat here every week. The matcha ice cream is my favorite-perfectly balanced & not too sweet.
Years later, it's still as delicious as I remember. The matcha ice cream is just right-bitter enough & not too sweet, which I like. However, the cone isn't great; it's not crispy & lacks a smooth texture.
The matcha tea was AH-MAZING! We had two matcha lates & wow! So smooth & tasty! Perfectly made! Very cute cafe, offers yummy looking food & desserts. Can't wait to go back & try more stuff! It's not cheap but well worth it! 🍵😋
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.

Soba is a noodle which is made by matcha. It's delicious. We also ordered houjicha caramel chiffon cake. The cream on the top of the cake is made of maple. It's a good favor I've never tried before.
The matcha ice cream here is some of the best in the city. The matcha flavor is perfectly intense. They even serve it in a waffle cone by default which is an added bonus

Tasty Matcha ice cream | Not really sweet though | I also tried the Matcha Tiramisu which was good but in my opinion it could have been also a bit sweeter to enhance the matcha flavou
The food was all very delicious! I'm not a huge ramen fan because the ones in the US are normally very salty & heavy but this one is so light, sweet & just salty enough! The soba noodles were so tasty as well as the Poké ball (which could have used more fish but still good) If you're around & looking for a cute cafe with good food & nice matcha drinks, come here!
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.
Endroit avec service rapide , ma soupe ramen était excellente , mais j'aurais aimé un peu plus relevé, & le porc était savoureux à l'intérieur. Tiramisu matcha était exquis
the best matcha ice cream in the city & i also love the hot yuzu tea!! the soba poke is the perfect summer dish such good tang & fresh fish 🙂↕️ great portion too !
