Dung heap

In Finland we have this thing called "tunkio". A plentiful corner of really cheap products. Usually one-offs or slightly faulty items. This is basically something we can only offer to our walk-in store patrons. Publishing these as products in our web store would be "financially irresponsible".

Pets are welcome

We warmly welcome dogs and other pets to our store. Be sure to bring them to Bar Sotima for a drink of water and some treats!
