TSUJIRI Montreal

Japanese Matcha Chain Tsujiri Opens on Crescent Street | Eater Montreal

"I visited the new Tsujiri on Crescent Street, which opened December 9 in the former Via Crescent space at 1418 Crescent Street; the menu emphasizes a serious volume of green tea in many formats — regular brewed matcha (and other teas like sencha), matcha lattes (including twists such as black sesame), matcha floats topped with matcha soft serve, shaved ice desserts, cakes, macarons, cream puffs, parfaits, and a literal “cake blended” matcha milkshake. There's also a short savoury selection, notably a tonkotsu ramen served with green-tea noodles. Although the menu feels decidedly modern, Tsujiri has roots back to the mid-19th century and focuses on high-quality Uji-area green tea; it’s not a huge player in Japan but has many locations across East Asia and is modestly expanding in Canada (Toronto-area locations, newer sites in Edmonton and near Vancouver, and franchises planned in Halifax and Calgary). Hours are TBA." - Tim Forster
