Tsujiri is a Japanese brand with over 155 years in the tea business. Expanding to Toronto, Tsujiri is now known for its matcha soft serve, floats, shaved ice and sundaes. The matcha is guaranteed to impress, with a strong, bold flavour that true green tea lovers will adore. The house specialty is the Tsujiri sundae – matcha soft serve layered with roasted rice bits, red bean paste, and mochi balls all topped with a pink cookie made with Sakura flowers.
