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.
Their matcha is really good! What I love most about this place is that there's plenty of seating, so it's perfect for catching up with a friend or sitting down to study.
This is a specialty matcha café. They use dense brown sugar in the shiratama parfait & kuromitsu matcha glace, which overpowered the overall flavor & made it feel almost medicinal. Their yuzu drink & hojicha ice cream were really good. The café also has plenty of seating, so it's a nice place to sit down & relax.

Very well decorated Japanese place that serves drinks & ice cream, specializing in match flavors. The ice is super good & worth the price. Oh, & you can also order match slushie with ice cream on top. Very spacious so you can sit down with group of friends or family
J'ai pris le parfait au houjicha avec shiratama : il y avait l'équivalent d'une bonne portion (je dirais c'est pour 1,5 personne) de glace au houjicha, 3 dangos, de l'azuki & de la gelée au matcha.
Mais comme la gelée au matcha représentait presque la moitié du verre, j'aurais préféré un peu plus de glace par rapport à la gelée.
Si vous n'aimez pas les desserts trop sucrés, cela ne sera pas idéal. Mais pour les accros au sucre , oui! C'est une vrai régalade.
Le lieu n'est pas très propre par contre. Vu le monde qu'il y a, la propreté laisse à désirer.
Everything matcha is delicious...best matcha ice cream. Also very good ramen & poke bowls. Great casual dinner or dropping in for dessert. The parfaits are amazing. Wish they stayed open later in the summer though.
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 🥹💕
