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.
the yuzu matcha was delicious & refreshing!! the tonkatsu soba was rich & full of umami 🥰 lovely service & super cozy interior that's good for studying/working. def visiting again to try out the desserts 🥹💕

Tsujiri is not known for soba & soup noodles, but still enjoyed it during a chilly day.
It is known for its matcha beverages. You can customize your beverages to your liking including for those who are lactose intolerant. Despite it being chilly, my GO-TO is the O-mathca ice blend! A good balance of matcha & ice for a savoury drink no matter the time of the year.
It's amazing to have genuine Matcha in Montreal! Kitsune soba was hot & nice to have in a cold day. One point to improve was the fried tofu on the soba. It was hard & was not tasty. Said that I really enjoyed that place!
I don't even like matcha lol but the few non matcha option I've tried when I came here with matcha fans were delicious the poke soba tastes sooo unique & so good!! I like the yuzu iced tea, simple but good. & the sakura matcha cake they have in spring sometimes is always delicious, small but really good! Also the place is really pretty & the employees are nice ☺️

i always get the poke soba. its light refreshing & delicious, i love it. otherwise their hojicha latte is also yummy. also has a lot of seating, great spot to study
We got there a few minutes before they opened & a few people lined up behind us. We ordered the signature shaved ice, which was amazing. We also ordered the udon & kitsune soba. Both were yummy! The kitsune soba had a light citrus undertone which was nice.
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 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!
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 !
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.

One of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Montreal. I love the Tonkotsu Soba, it's my favourite item on the menu! The chef also brings the food to your table & the staff are all very nice & welcoming:)
