The day has finally arrived.
Originally declared to commence operations in November, Tsujiri's foray into the Mississauga market was delayed a minimum of sixteen days. The beloved tea shop finally opened its doors to the public amidst the hectic holiday season on a fateful Saturday.

Woken to the blare of my alarm, I dragged myself to City Centre in a daze, hoping to obtain slices of their Rare Cheesecake and Opera Cake for breakfast.
Alas, I was met with the disappointing news that pastries were not available till later in the day, and in limited quantities nonetheless.

I felt defeated, knowing that I would be unable to secure a parking spot should I vacate the current one in possession. My unwillingness to depart empty-handed had me requesting two beverages to go: a Matcha Kinako Kuromitsu Latte and an O-Matcha Maple Syrup & Salt Latte.
Some eager visitors had hopped on the soft serve bandwagon, but realistically, a decked-out parfait cannot suffice as breakfast for the sane majority of us. (Most of us need carbs or other forms of heartiness.)

The Matcha Kinako Kuromitsu Latte earned a nod of approval from the staff member behind the cashier, and also proved to be a wonderful pick to ease myself into reality. Smooth with underlying notes of nuttiness, the warm beverage could easily appeal to lovers of the traditional Japanese combination.
The latter Maple Syrup & Salt Latte was innovative: whipped cream, maple, and a dash of sea salt was almost reminiscent of Starbucks' seasonal creations, though grounded with a base of grassy green tea. The result was milkier and richer in comparison, and a great deal saltier than anticipated. My preference lies with No. 12, though the true stars of the show have yet to be examined.

Houjicha soft serve is, regrettably, not offered at this location; at this point in time, the straight O-Matcha and O-Matcha Cappuccino are unavailable as well.
Situated in a narrow strip immediately adjacent to Chatime, Tsujiri's Square One venture is probably the smallest of all three locations. With dine-in options nor seating, one can only hope that delivery of orders will be swift and efficient.
It should also be mentioned that the single accepted method of payment is cash as of now.
