If you have been coming into TSUCHI over the years, you have likely gotten to know our Chef Haru. Aside from being a bright light, greeting everyone with a smile and creating some of the most delectable recipes for you to enjoy, Chef Haru has been deeply involved in every part of TSUCHI’s growth.

Before we even opened our doors, all the way until the present moment, along side our owner Koji and with the help of our wonderful team, Chef Haru has taken pride in every element of TSUCHI - from food and hospitality, to branding and social media content creation.

After over 3 years of spearheading our vision at TSUCHI Cafe, Chef Haru will be stepping away from her kitchen responsibilities and moving towards developing some of her own exciting projects. She will still continue to develop some of our recipes, so look out for that in the coming months. We wish her all the success and well deserved growth after all the amazing things she has done for us here at Tsuchi.

Her last day will officially be April 27th, so if you’d like to stop by TSUCHI we are sure she would love to see you. If you’d like to continue following along Chef Haru’s journey, follow her at

This is a new chapter for both of us and we are excited about everything the future has in store for us. Thank you all for your support over the years and we look forward to continuing to serve you.

New Tart Alert!

This is Chef HARU’s brand new creation - Earl Grey Hazelnut Tart!

Our classic house made tart shell is layered with aromatic earl grey infused almond cake, hazelnut ganache and topped with decadent, creamy lemon cream cheese whip.

A slice of this tart would pair wonderfully with a hot cup of Hojicha tea or matcha latte. It will be available at Tsuchi as well as on Uber eats. We look forward to sharing it with you!

This is our Hazelnut Chocolate Mille Feuille Cake!

A light and creamy dessert, with a bit of texture and just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth. Layers of flaky puff pastry and silky hazelnut chocolate cream, are elevated with hazelnut chocolate paste and crunchy hazelnut pieces between each layer.

It’s an ideal gift for someone you love, or a cake for celebrating your most special day. If you love hazelnuts and chocolate, this cake is for you!

It will be available for pre-orders starting tomorrow (March 16th) in our online store. We hope you enjoy it!

With the warm weather approaching we have switched things up a bit with our food items. We are excited to announce two brand new additions to our menu!

~Tsuchi Plate~
A Japanese meal set featuring:
- 1pc Onigiri
- 2pc Karaage
- Miso Soup
- Pickles
- Tamago Yaki
- Mini Noodles

Pairs very well with Kaguya Beer or any of our Geese Louise flavours.

~Onigiri Set~
Classic Japanese combo featuring:
- 2pc Onigiri
- Miso Soup
- Pickles

Pairs very well with Godspeed Yuzu beer or any of our Kefir flavours.

Our kitchen is open Mon-Thurs 11am-2:30pm and Fri-Sun 11am-5:30pm

Come to try these in person or order on Uber eats!

We take pride in selecting only the finest Sake to share with you all. When we come across a creation like this Tedorigawa “U” , the complexity and subtlety of flavours really comes through, as a result of meticulous care through traditional methods.

Upon first sip you will notice slight pink graperfruit acidity and pear aroma. The yamahai brewing method gives this sake a beautiful svelte-like texture. It’s truly a pleasure to drink.

We hope you enjoy it!

Chef Haru has prepared a special for this Valentine’s Day for someone special in your life - Crunchy Chocolate Almonds!

These delectable treats take a lot of time and love to prepare by hand, therefore there will only be a small batch available from today until Valentine’s Day. They will also only be available for walk-in purchases, so make sure to stop by Tsuchi and pick some up before they sell out!

Warm your soul with a hot cup of TSUCHI Apple Cider!

We had to do a Japanese twist on this classic and it actually works so well! We combined organic apple cider juice with yuzu juice, ginger juice and some cinnamon for those familiar notes of flavour.
