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.
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.
Konichiwa. Je vous recommande le TSUJIRI Montréal. N'hésitez pas à commander le Yuzu Tea😋 . Je souhaite le meilleur à l'entreprise. Très respectueusement.
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!
