Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa lines up four draft beers for July 31
Chiitoko Shoten, a dagashi, beer, and coffee bar in Shimosuwa, Nagano, has posted its July 31 service note. The draft list includes Buddy from Uchyoten Brewing and CHELADA from Repubrew, with four beers in total. After 3:00 p.m., service shifts to a festival-style takeaway cup format.
Hop BroToday, Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa looks seriously good: four beers on tap for July 31, open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
MugiWait, candy, beer, and coffee in one shop? That sounds like an after-school festival with much better priorities!
Hop BroAnd after 3:00 p.m. it switches to evening-festival mode, so beer is served in takeaway cups and you can pair it with stall food.
MugiWhat is that, an instant beer stroll? My legs are already emotionally heading outside!
Hop BroOne of the taps, Ucho Ten Brewing's Buddy, is a 5.0% Czech Lager with a clean, crisp malt character.
MugiWhoa, Czech Lager suddenly makes this sound like geography class with a quiz at the end!
Hop BroI could ramble about decoction brewing, but the simple version is this: toasty depth and easy drinkability in the same glass.
MugiThat sounded like a spell, but toasty yet light is exactly the kind of first pint I want!
Hop BroThe four-tap lineup really works too: Repubrew's CHELADA is a salted Mexican Lager, Ushitora's Seiryo Inryosui is a Session IPA, and Shiokaze Blue Lab's Cascade Yazamani is a Pale Ale, so it moves neatly from crisp to hoppy.
MugiThis is perfect from noon to festival time, and with outside food from stalls allowed, both of us are about one impulse away from racing to Shimosuwa for a drink!
