  Holding the reins for tradition and quality, Tsujiri is one of the most well known tea shops to have been able to successfully keep standards high while becoming more global. A buildup of excitement leading to their grand opening, followed by a grueling 30 minute wait in line to finally be able to try the legendary Matcha shop. I was beyond ecstatic.Shiratama Parfait – (8.25) – Mochi balls were soooo good, this was during my first visit where we didn’t think we’d need the vanilla mix for the matcha ice cream. Totally did, the parfait ended up just tasting very heavy without the refreshing aspect.O – Matcha Float – ($8.75) – Icy matcha slurpee topped with more matcha ice cream, is there such thing as too much matcha? Uhm, nope. The two different textures of matcha ended up tasting pretty good. Would order this again!Tsujiri Soft Cream Vanilla Mix – ($5.50) – Thankful for the vanilla mix because without it, the matcha would have been way too overpowering for me to enjoy. This was good, strong robust matcha mellowed down by the vanilla cream. The texture of this soft cream is not ice cream to say the least. You’re not getting the creamy milk flavor you’d expect from a soft serve but more icy watery. The twisted soft cream was served in a waffle cone that did not meet the standards to the matcha. Like stale thin crackers, ended up grabbing a spoon to scoop out the cream and throwing out 90% of the cone.Kinako Daifuku – ($5.00) – Essentially a very soft mochi stuffed with soybean dusted with roasted soybean powder. Paired with a hot tea, I can see why this would taste good. We paired iit with a float and parfait, which was not such a great pairing. The texture is nothing like i’ve felt before, its gooey and breaks apart easily but doesn’t quite stick to your fingers. Very mild flavor overall you’ll have to like soybean for this one.Cream Puff – ($3.00) – The matcha cream filling was so thick while the shell was flakey and puffy. This was a good bite!Now to the main reason why I’d go back.Yuzu Tart – ($5.25) – Crust is great, yuzu filling is amazing. Sweet but with a subtle tart aftertaste. My favorite item ever. Worth it.Overall, I think the hype for Tsujiri has died down (HENCE NO LINE UP YA’LL), and only true matcha lovers will find themselves coming back here. For me, it was pretty underwhelming to say the least. Won’t be actively seeking to come here for dessert.

  Finally, a place with real Matcha. I’ve been struggling to find Matcha desserts and drinks that aren’t overly sweet and Tsujiri definitely delivers. It’s very reminiscent of many Matcha themed desserts from Japan and I would definitely recommend it to any Matcha fan.This place is quite popular, so be prepared to wait in line during peak times.My only complaint is their Matcha and vanilla soft cream ice cream is a bit strange in texture. The Matcha soft cream is soft and perfect, however I found the vanilla soft cream more icy and bordering sorbet texture.

  Another new dessert spot to open downtown, Tsujiri, specializes in matcha desserts. Theyre a very popular chain from Japan that began back in 1860. Its close by to CoCos and ChixShack. We dropped in for a Tuesday afternoon snack (around 3:45pm) and it was packed. The line wasnt as long as Id seen the day before walking around downtown but it went back to the entrance. Crazy.
