Q: Hi Sandra! My daughter wants to have a Japanese theme birthday and we are looking to buy some kimonos for the girls, some Japanese things for the loot bags (such as little dolls) etc. Do you know a good place for that in Montreal other than Chinatown?

A: Marche Oriental, 2109 Decarie  had a Japanese $2 store on the right side of the shop which has more kitcheny things but a bit of kitsch too. They have another location but I’m not sure if they have the kitsch: 2109 Ste Catherine ouest. Miyamoto, 382 Victoria Ave. Westmount is a shop for Japanese food and kitchenware and they might be able to direct you.

Not sure about kiddie kimonos. (maybe party stores for costumes) If you can fake it with sari fabric, there is a shop on Cote des Neiges that used to be called Uma Saree but maybe is now Boutique Uma or some variation of that. Tons of that type of fabric in the 99 Chabanel building on the 4th floor.
