🇨🇦Japan’s popular organic matcha café, @thematchatokyo.ca, is officially opening its first-ever North American location in Toronto on May 16.
Known for its 100% organic matcha, THE MATCHA TOKYO prepares its matcha fresh with a traditional bamboo whisk — and the whole process feels beautifully ceremonial ✨
Here’s what we tried:

Smooth matcha aroma with a slight bittersweet finish.
🍂 Hojicha Latte
Rich roasted tea aroma, smooth and not bitter.
🍋 Matcha Lemonade
Matcha with lemon — refreshing and layered.
🍰 Matcha Basque Cheesecake
Rich matcha flavour with a creamy, velvety cheesecake texture.
🍦 Matcha Soft Cream
A nice balance of milky sweetness and matcha aroma.
Visiting THE MATCHA TOKYO in Toronto offers more than just a simple drink—it’s an immersive experience where you can watch the traditional matcha preparation process using a bamboo whisk unfold before your eyes. This ceremonial aspect adds a unique charm that I personally found very calming and distinctive compared to typical café visits. The Matcha Latte stands out for its delicate balance of a smooth, vibrant matcha aroma coupled with a gentle bittersweet finish. For those who prefer a roasted tea flavor, the Hojicha Latte is a fantastic choice, offering a rich, warm roasted taste that's smooth and completely devoid of bitterness—a perfect cozy option. If you’re looking for something refreshing and bright, the Matcha Lemonade blends the grassy notes of matcha with zesty lemon, creating a layered and invigorating beverage that’s especially enjoyable during warmer days. Dessert lovers must try the Matcha Basque Cheesecake. It features an intense matcha flavor fused with a creamy, velvety texture that melts in your mouth, delivering a decadent yet balanced treat. Complementing this is the Matcha Soft Cream, whose harmonious blend of milky sweetness and matcha aroma offers a perfect cool-down on a sunny afternoon. What makes THE MATCHA TOKYO truly special is their commitment to using 100% organic matcha powder sourced from Japan. This authenticity shines through in every sip and bite, appealing to those who appreciate quality and traditional flavors. Whether you are a matcha enthusiast or new to this green tea ritual, THE MATCHA TOKYO provides a genuine taste of Japan right in the heart of Toronto. For anyone exploring Toronto’s growing culinary scene, this café represents a must-visit spot that combines health-conscious ingredients with a beautifully crafted, cultural experience. I highly recommend stopping by to savor these distinct matcha delights and witness the traditional preparation that makes this café so unique.
