Tsujiri

What is Tsujiri? Nestled on a bustling stretch of 147 Dundas St W, just steps from Yonge & Dundas Square, Tsujiri brings a slice of Kyoto's revered tea tradition to downtown Toronto. This independent establishment, rooted in a 1860 Japanese tea brand, occupies a former convenience store, now transformed into a minimalist haven for matcha aficionados. While seating is limited, the unique tatami room offers a distinctive, traditional Japanese experience for those looking to linger.

Tsujiri Menu & What to Order At Tsujiri, the star is undeniably matcha, sourced from the famed tea fields of Uji and meticulously prepared. Don't miss the iconic Tsujiri Sundae, an artful layering of intense matcha soft serve, crunchy roasted brown rice, sweet red bean paste, chewy shiratama dango, and a delicate sakura cookie. For a comforting sip, the O-Matcha Latte or a roasted Houjicha Latte delivers a perfect balance of tea flavour and creamy texture. Matcha Soft Serve is a straightforward, satisfying choice, while the Matcha Daifuku offers a delightful mochi-wrapped treat. They even offer varying matcha intensities, allowing both purists and newcomers to find their ideal green tea experience.
