Sogo is much larger and more egalitarian than the other Japanese department stores listed above; its goods are cheaper and its prices lower. Consequently, the 12-story store is often packed (particularly on Sun) with families shopping for clothing, toys, furniture, household goods, and electrical appliances. In the second basement is a large supermarket. A small, classier subterranean branch is located across the harbor, at 12 Salisbury Rd. in front of the InterContinental, Tsim Sha Tsui (tel. 852/3556 1212). Both are open daily from 10am to 10pm.
