haberdashery; sundries store
A shop selling small daily necessities, accessories, and haberdashery items. The term is somewhat traditional and may be less common in modern urban settings.
My grandmother used to buy thread and buttons at the neighborhood haberdashery.
A general goods or variety store, broader in scope than a 小間物屋, which traditionally focuses on small personal items and sewing supplies.
Compound of 小間物 (komamono, 'small articles, haberdashery') and 屋 (ya, 'shop'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term has been used since the Edo period for shops selling small daily necessities.
