The launch of TSUJIRI Malaysia began with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by setting off the firecrackers.
Auntie Lilly, FollowMeToEatLa was truly excited when invited to attend Tsujiri's first outlet launch in Malaysia last week. VIP, guests and members of the media together with bloggers were treated to a exclusive tea ceremony demonstration by Tea Master Shiro Tsuji, who heads a Japanese tea and café business in Fukuoka, Japan.

Everyone had a wonderful time savouring free flow of green tea drinks, desserts such as ice cream and parfaits selections. Matcha lovers can choose from O-Matcha, tea, latte to desserts, ice blended, shaved ice, floats and not forgetting delightful Parfait selection with Soft ice cream too. All in all, my favourite was of course their best quality Japanese green tea in its original form ~ Signature O-Matcha!

“We are happy to introduce this prestigious Japanese brand to Malaysians. My younger brother first discovered TSUJIRI when he visited Japan in 2014. He loved it so much that he decided to take up a franchise for London, and also recommended me to try it. Back then, the nearest branch was in Singapore, so I flew to TSUJIRI Singapore back in 2014 to taste their drinks and desserts and immediately fell in love with it. I thought, if only I could have this every day; and that’s when I decided to take up a franchise to bring this amazing tea brand here.
We hope that Malaysians can enjoy the culture and heritage of Japanese green tea, alongside its health benefits, through our café-style outlet,” shared Karen, Managing Director of TSUJIRI Malaysia during the launch. “Additionally, while keeping cool with our drinks and desserts, we can enjoy the unique and soothing taste of this tea.”
“Consumers today are more informed and are more discerning than ever. They look for quality, taste, and variety. I believe TSUJIRI meets all these criteria and I am confident that we are able to cater to their needs with our stringent quality control and continuous innovation.”
Established in 1860, TSUJIRI was founded by green tea specialist Riemon Tsuji, an entrepreneur who sought to improve the tea industry. Through several innovations, he found ways to enhance the flavours and sweetness of green tea, resulting in high-quality Gyokuro tea leaves, which is a breed of shaded green tea from Japan. He also designed a method of transporting tea leaves so that they could maintain their freshness after harvesting.
Through his techniques, the benefits of green tea, known to be rich in antioxidants and believed to promote anti-aging, are maintained. Thus, TSUJIRI offers green tea rich in Vitamin A, C, E and Beta Carotene, as well as Catechin, which plays a role in burning calories.
Green Tea Drinks and Desserts - Continued Innovation
Keeping Riemon’s desire to continue to innovate while sustaining its traditions, TSUJIRI ventured into green tea-based drinks and desserts, but maintains its philosophy of offering the best quality. TSUJIRI products utilise the best green tea selected and preserved from Uji in Kyoto, and uses the traditional grinding method to convey its strong fragrance as well as flavour.
