Tip:
- This Oomomo store has a cafe where you can get cool drinks and good eats, including ramen and udon.
- It's essentially a Japanese dollar store. It's cool!
I had an evening flight out of Winnipeg on Tuesday. I hung out in the St. James area after having lunch. I decided to check out this Oomomo store on St. James Street.
I am generally good at remembering what used to be where Oomomo is. Nothing popped in my head as I was shopping when it came to what used to be here, probably because I was so happy that items were so cheap at this store.
It came to me yesterday evening. It's where Hudson's Bay Home used to be.
Oomomo is the Japanese version of a dollar store. It has everything from chopsticks and plates, to snacks and stationery. Prices are cheap. I'm fortunate that Markham has one. It's nice to know that Winnipeg gets to enjoy this store.
This store in Winnipeg is special. I walked in and there was Oomomo Cafe. It had ramen, udon, pretty drinks, and more. I came here on a full stomach. I'll need to return and give this cafe a try.
I fell in love with the chopsticks section. You can get a cool pair of chopsticks for $3.50. You can get accessories for your chopsticks, from a sturdy trave; case, to a rest for your chopsticks. So cool!
I liked seeing origami paper. I used to do a lot of origami. I should get back to doing some.
The skin care section was amazing. I looked at everything from toner and moisturizer, to face masks and cotton wipes.The prices were decent.
I ended up getting a microfibre towel that's the perfect size to cover my eyelids. I have dry eyes and I take time to put a warm towel over them to relieve the dryness while unclogging the pores.
I also got an accessory that has two clips to hold your hat down. It also has a place to hang your sunglasses or eyeglasses.
The snacks and drinks section was incredible. I found my usual sugar-free tea in bottles. There was ramen. I also saw massive Pocky sticks.
I went to pay at the checkout area. I got a woman who was nice and helpful. If you want to get a bag, it's 40 cents. I declined.
I used a credit card to pay for my two items. Done!
I'm happy with my purchases. I look forward to returning and checking out the merchandise, and dining at the cafe.
