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.
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 !
Such a great spot to study, for dates, or for good Japanese matcha goodies! We ordered their matcha cake, matcha latté & matcha mochi parfait! The matcha was so flavourful & strong, which is exactly what you want! They also sell ramen as well! The atmosphere was really good & a lot of seating!

Tout était parfait; le service sympathique & rapide, la nourriture, le thé. Prix raisonnables. Nous avons pris 2 soupes, un thé froid, le riz avec anguille, une portion de gâteau & la crème glacée matcha. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner, ça vaut le détour.

Absolument délicieux Vraiment le ramen était trop bon tout comme les desserts J'y reviendrais c'est sur ! Une ambiance plus chaleureuse serait peut être agréable toutefois
A really chill place! If you love matcha, this is definitely the place to go to. They have a lot of matcha & yuzu based desserts but also serve savory meals like udons that are flavorful but also very light. I can never go there without their cold yuzu tea!
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.
