another visit to metrotown metropolis during the chaotic holiday rush had us parched after braving the crowds. this little spot near superstore and next to the little tea house looked like the perfect place to recharge, but it didn't quite hit the mark. not gonna lie, the drinks here look appealing, and the choices are many. black sesame, yuzu, hojicha, floats and parfaits, oh my! their most popular item on the menu is the o-matcha latte, a hand crafted matcha espresso blended with steamed milk for $8 (my partner chose this one, and he was not a fan). i decided to try the matcha frappe, which is a mix of matcha slush and yogurt, topped with whipped cream and matcha sauce for $8.50. the first few sips were delicious, refreshing, with the perfect balance of sweetness and matcha flavour. but then, it all went downhill. after those first few sips, i was left with mostly slushed ice. i tried to let it melt, but by the time i could get to it, the paper straw had completely disintegrated. i had high hopes for this place. the drinks are beautifully presented, and the matcha quality is evident, but the overall experience doesn't quite justify the price. for $8 or more, the cups are too small, packed with ice, and the paper straws don't hold up long enough to finish the drink.
Whenever I want a matcha drink, Tsujiri is my go to place. The drinks are made with matcha powder and have a stronger taste of green tea. My favorite drink is the kuromitsu kinako matcha latte. I like the sweet roasted soybean matcha flavor in the drink. Plus I don't think you can get that at other places. The soft serve is equally nice though I get the drink more than the dessert stuff. This is a small shop which is just for take out. I don't see any tables and chairs for dining in. They also sells dacquoise and cheesecake. Located across from St Germaine bakery near Superstore.
We'd just gotten back from a trip to Japan, and were missing our Hojicha ice cream so I stopped by Tsujiri in Metrotown and bought a Hojicha float for my daughter and I to share. There was barely any liquid in the float. It was really more of a soft serve ice cream than a float. This hit the spot though as the Hojicha ice cream is really what we were after. For some reason, the menu at Tsujiri doesn't offer an option of having Hojicha ice cream on its own. Only in a float. I have noticed an older review for this place though, where someone managed to get Hojicha soft serve in a cone. I wonder if it's something I simply need to inquire about at the store. Didn't quite match up to the Hojicha ice creams that we'd had in Japan but for a nearby option that was a short drive away, and not a plane ride away...I was happy with this!

This place is take out only as there is no place to sit. Ordered the houjicha float during the very hot summer day. Totally made my day. Houjicha taste is pretty strong with good level of sweetness. It also has some crumbs that make the texture even better. Will come back to try the yuzu flavoured drinks.
Typically never disappointed by 1) ice cream and 2) matcha-y ice cream, this tsujiri experience broke barriers. As someone who rarely visits metrotown I was so excited to see this small Tsujiri take out stall while leaving superstore. Since tsujiri opened their OG Richmond location, I've declared myself a die hard yuzu-match float fanatic. I really should've stuck with my gut here but decided to be adventurous as the hojicha soft serve looks drool worth on the menu. For close to $8 a soft serve, the flavour (aka the hojicha oomph) did not hit the spot at all. The tea aromas were mellow to the point that the soft serve just tasted milky bland with a nice butter dry texture, and left a oily residue in the mouth. All that and the size of cone was equivalent to the size of the Dolar Shop charcoal cone. Overall, a disappointing experience.
Tsujiri has a long history. One of the many shops that I have tried and would recommend. It is located inside the Metrotown shopping center, in front of the Canadian superstore. If you want to get mostly soft server, order the plain soft serve in a cone rather than any other menu items.
Tried the kinako matcha latte and it was delicious! It was a bit on the pricy side though but the quality made up for it
Tsujiri is located on the ground level of Metro across RCSS. A nice and cozy little space with super friendly and attentive staff. The menu isn't expansive because it's a matcha cafe that specializes in matcha (duh!) with drinks + soft serve as the main attraction. Ordered the yuzu matcha and o-matcha latte. Don't drink matcha often but really enjoyed it! Only gripe is that it's quite pricey for a small cup! Will definitely be back for ice cream in the summer though. BTW, Tsujiri is a pretty popular chain in Japan. It's obviously much affordable there but you always have to factor in plane tickets. =P
Fast and friendly service. It's a small little pop up shop, so you won't find any of the baked goods like you would in the regular stores, but they still serve an array of beverages, along with parfaits and shaved ice. The quality and taste of your order is consistent with their regular store. No seating available, so you get whatever you order to go, or find a nearby bench to sit down on.
I passed by Tsujiri when I was in Osaka couple times. I know in Calgary they are located there as well. I wanted to try Tsujiri. Right now there are 2 locations in BC. One is at Metrotown and the other is in Richmond. Only difference is that the one in Richmond is a sit down restaurant. The options are very different and of course the prices are double the Metrotown location. I came here with B after running some errands. I got the Matcha Macaroon Parfait and B go the Asuki Matcha Latte (hot). Portion size looked small for the price that they are charging. But it is in fact that they use quality ingredients. I can taste the matcha in my parfait. B's drink was not bad. It was bitter at first and then you can taste the strong matcha taste afterward. My parfait had 1 macaroon, 2 mochi squares, corn flake in the middle, red beans at the bottom and Yes of course..... Matcha ice cream on top. The two items came to $17.33. It is definitely pricy for the amount we are getting.
We've been to the Richmond location a few times and this is our second time here at their small shop in Metrotown mall. There is no space for seating but you are able to order for takeaway. Last time we got their black sesame latte and this time we got their hojicha latte and both were delicious. It is a little hot when they first make it so you do have to let it cool down for a bit first. I can't wait for summer to have their parfaits again!
Matcha lovers dream! I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. You Can literally smell the delicious tea standing infront of the shop. We tried the matcha panna cotta and then shaved ice with matcha soft serve. Their matcha soft serve isn't super sweet which makes it feel like a nice light dessert. Combined with the shaved ice makes it feel even lighter. I really enjoyed it. It tasted better and better with every bite. The panna cotta was quite nice as well super creamy. I definitely want to try the hojicha soft serve next time.
I waited almost 2 months for this! This is a pop up store but I believe they are staying for at least 6 months. There are only drinks and parfaits at this location. It took over the old Sweet Jesus spot across Superstore. At today's opening, the line wasn't bad at all and it moves quite fast. I love their matcha ice cream. I personally find that Tsujiri has a stronger and deeper matcha flavor than Nana Green Tea. There are no seating area. They do take credit card and the staff are super friendly. Worth a try.
I did not have a large sampling of the options provided by this Tsujiri location in Metrotown, so I may update this review over time as I try other items. But the one item I got was more than disappointing. The Dango with red bean and brown sugar was just mochi in a watered down puddle of brown sugar water and then red bean on top. I know, I probably should have gotten other items. But I really wanted to get some Dango. This was a big miss. read more
Needed a sweet pick-me-up after a couple hours of warring the Metrotown crowd and ended up at this cute little spot tucked away in the most unassuming corner. I got the hojicha latte but was slightly disappointed when it only tasted like milk. My partner's yuzu frappe on the other hand was the unexpected winner. It was floral in the best way with creamy yogurt swirls. The yuzu flavor was unmistakable. I'm not sure if this was a seasonal item but if you get the chance, this drink is a must-try. read more

I ordered a matcha soft serve cone for $6.50. Be warned, the soft serve is very soft!! I tried to let my child lick the cone when he was in the stroller and the soft serve fell out of the cone and into him! We were able to ask for a cup to get the soft serve into the cup. The person helping us mentioned it has happened before to other customers. The soft serve tasted amazing with a strong matcha taste. Definitely, it was some great quantity matcha. I would never buy a cone again if I plan to share it. read more

- houjicha + yuzu = $4.25 + 0.50 - 《Chungry Rating = 9/10》 Could use a refreshing cup of iced tea right about now!! My girlfriend and I were parched after shopping around Metrotown, so we stopped by Tsujiri for a drink. Their Metrotown location offers a different menu than it's Richmond location, focusing more on drink and matcha soft serve options. The selection has a wide range of their signature teas, lattes, floats, and parfaits! I love houjicha for its darker, roasted tea flavour, so I normally drink it as is. This time we switched it up and added yuzu to it. It turned out to be a great call, because the citrusy sweetness and tartness from the yuzu pieces made the tea even more refreshing! That being said, if the yuzu was a little less sweet, the balance would have been perfect Overall, Tsujiri at Metrotown was great for a quick drink and their friendly staff made the visit even more enjoyable! read more

What I ordered: Brown Sugar Jelly Parfait (Matcha - $9.50) Over the past few years, there have been various green tea giants that have come to Vancouver, one of them being Tsujiri. I haven't been to the bigger store in Richmond yet, but I got a chance to go to the pop-up store in Metrotown last night. Going into this I wasn't too hyped about it because I had heard lots of mixed reviews about this place, given the pricing and portion ratio. My friend and I grabbed the Brown Sugar Jelly Parfait (Matcha flavour). It came with a light cracker, layers of creamy matcha ice cream, layers of corn flakes and brown sugar jelly. The matcha ice cream was surprisingly creamy, but not overly sweet. The corn flakes I gotta say, were such a delightfully crunchy addition (who knew corn flakes could be so good). The brown sugar jelly themselves were a bit underwhelming but overall, this parfait was pretty good. Was it worth $9.50? Hmm...debatable read more

If you like matcha definitely come here and give it a try. We ordered the parfait, very smooth and refreshing. A bit on the pricier side, but we would return. read more
I saw an ad for this pop-up in the mall the other day at lunch and had to stop by. Its tucked behind the superstore and can be a little hard to find, but its worth the search. The staff is friendly & helpful, and the matcha is good quality and quite fragrant. Its a little pricey for most things, just a shot of matcha is $5.50, a latte is ~$7, but their desserts are great, and better value. We ordered the parfait which has chestnut, red bean, matcha ice cream and mochi as well as a drizze of brown sugar syrup. From a value/price standpoint, this was the standout winner for me. If youre looking for something sweet and craving matcha, check out Tsujiri read more
Yuuuuum. Dango that's not overly sweet. STRONG o-matcha, the way it should be (ahem, maybe those "trendy" matcha shops should take note). The iced hojicha and genmaicha were also flavorful and refreshing in the summer heat. A great addition to Metrotown. I only wished they had dairy alternatives! read more

I love strong matcha flavors and this place is great! Great atmosphere and good snacks to eat after dinner. The matcha parfait we ordered was delicious! Would love to try their other stuff if they open one near me. read more
I have had other places' hojicha softserve ice cream and its really nothing compared to tsujiri's hojicha. The flavours and sweetness are spot on! Probably the first time I prefer hojicha over greentea ever! It's also great with the brown sugar syrup as well! Delicious! read more

I always like to visit this place to get some matcha soft serve whenever I visit Metrotown because it's always soo good and satisfies my matcha craving. After having sushi for dinner nearby, I decided to drop in to Metrotown for a bit to get the matcha soft serve. I wasn't sure if they were closed, but decided to try and see anyways. When I got there, I saw several people waiting. The cashier/server was very rude, no greeting or acknowlegement, just continued to make the orders. There were 2 other customers in front me, and I was entirely ignored until she finished making the 2 customer's orders. I usually like to get the charcoal matcha soft serve, but I saw the cashier serve the soft serve in the clear plastic cups they usually use for making their parfaits for the first customer before me. It looked very pretty because the soft serve had many large swirls above the cup rim. It made me want to try the cup for once. So I waited patiently and after she finished making the second customer's order, I told her I wanted to try the matcha soft serve in a cup. What I got instead, was a huge disappointment served in a cup. Instead of the transparent parfait cup she had previously used, the matcha soft serve was in the small black paper cup they usually use to serve their hot drinks. Not to mention, the soft serve barely reached past the top of the cup, a very stark difference from what the other customer had been served. No explanation was provided too. Extremely disappointed in the lacking and almost nonexistent customer service, and as well as the lack of consistency and differential treatment. read more
