Tsujiri Montreal se spécialise dans les friandises japonaises authentiques à base de thé, mettant en valeur le matcha de qualité supérieure et le hojicha grillé dans des préparations froides et chaudes. Le menu équilibre ces profils de thé riches et terreux avec des pâtisseries sucrées, des parfaits à la crème glacée et des bols de nouilles savoureux comme le ramen et le soba. Chaque plat privilégie des ingrédients naturels, de la poudre verte intense dans les boissons à la texture tendre des nouilles. L'intérieur offre un cadre moderne et ouvert, doté d'équipements fonctionnels tels qu'un accès internet sans fil pour un environnement calme. Chaque dessert bénéficie d'une présentation soignée, superposant souvent les textures avec des gelées légères et des sirops pour équilibrer les saveurs prononcées. La boutique propose une sélection régulière d'en-cas japonais traditionnels accompagnant ces créations signatures au thé.
Tsujiri Montreal est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour un matcha authentique et de haute qualité, proposant un menu varié de lattes, de glaces et de parfaits élaborés qui séduisent les amateurs de thé vert. Les visiteurs apprécient régulièrement les saveurs riches et équilibrées de leurs offres sucrées et salées, incluant les ramens et plats de nouilles, tout en soulignant une ambiance qui évoque souvent une expérience japonaise apaisante. Bien que de nombreux clients apprécient la disponibilité des places assises, le wifi gratuit et les prises électriques, d'autres trouvent que l'endroit peut devenir assez bruyant, bondé, et parfois irrégulier en termes de service ou de propreté. Les avis sur les prix sont partagés, car certains clients estiment que le coût élevé est justifié par la qualité, tandis que d'autres suggèrent que les portions ou les ratios d'ingrédients, comme la quantité de gelée dans les parfaits, pourraient être ajustés pour un meilleur rapport qualité-prix.
Quality matcha for delicate taste. I've been here a lot over the years & that says something. I really loved their cakes as it's not too sweet & creamy. I liked eating their cold noodles on a hot day in summer. Although, their drinks might be a bit sweet for some people (for example below, Hojicha milk tea blended), but I liked the level of sweetness. It might be hard to talk as the ambience can be a bit loud due to the blender blending loudly or people chatting. Overall, recommended coming here on dates, studying, or chatting with friends. It has that calming Japan feel.
Tsujiri is THE most famous green tea brand in all Japan. Consequently they usually also have the best dark green tea ice cream in the world. However at this branch they did not offer the typical 3 flavor tiers of green tea ice cream (mild, medium, dark) & only the generic mild which is not what they are famous for… yuzu tea is good. Otherwise I do not recommend. Zenmai Matcha around the corner has a slightly better generic mild green tea ice cream (probably Maeda-En supplier?)
I had a lovely visit to Tsujiri! The menu is concise & well-defined, which usually guarantees quality-& they certainly delivered on that. The grilled pork noodle soup was delicious & clearly prepared with care. I also tried the roasted green tea, which was flavorful & hit the spot.
?However, I was quite disappointed that my tea was served in a paper cup despite me dining in.
Apparently, they had run out of glassware. For a premium tea house, drinking out of paper really takes away from the experience & the flavor. On the bright side, the matcha orders at other tables looked stunning! I'd love to come back for the food, but I hope they sort out their inventory so guests can enjoy the full aesthetic next time
They have great quality matcha for the price, & it's bigger shop than imagined. With modern & calm room decorations that's black. & oh, I love their ice cream! I am a big Matcha fan, so I love that their matcha desserts & drinks taste more'bitter' & tea-like than your usual matcha store. They also offer free wifi, since there are a lot of students around. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good study place there. During the many times I went there, it's often crowded & kind of noisy.

2024: Tsujiri is famous for their world renowned green tea & this shop carried with its name is famous for their matcha dessert. All desserts created with Japanese aesestics. Visually appealing, look simple & complex in making. If you are first time here, I would like to recommend their green tea soft serve icecream products such as parfaits, or as simple as green tea ice cream in the cone. I am sure you won't disappointed. They also serve hot dishes such as ramen & green tea udon that you are rarely find in North America.
Amazing tea & food both savoury & sweet but their atmosphere is disrupted by the sound of ANNOYING buzzers has to be a better way
Their interior could have better tables /chairs to match what high quality the food is
