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.
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.

Amazing food: dishes, desserts & drinks. We loved it so much we came every day during our stay in Montreal. Service was great, especially the man with glasses who was very kind & attentive. We wish we could come back, but sadly we live in another continent.
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!

The salmon dashi chazuke taste wonderful. The tea is a little warm, wish to be hotter. Anything else is good. Highly recommend. The udon is a bit plain but it's alright.
I'm a big matcha fan so I needed to come to this place & try the tiramisu: it's delicious! It has a great texture, there was a lot of matcha powder on top though. The matcha latte was great too! The place was full of people working remotely, & it's a big place when you enter the cafe. I recommend :)
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 ☺️
