Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, posted its July 16 opening notice and draft list on Instagram. The shop, which also serves candy, coffee, and baked goods, is open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., making it easy to drop in from daytime coffee to evening beer.

Today's Beer


- FLORA LAGER (5.5%) / Lager / Flora Fermentation (Higashiomi, Shiga)
- Sour Grapefruit Cooler (4.0%) / Berliner Weisse w/Grapefruit / AJB (Nozawa Onsen, Nagano)
- Purple Jet Sky Pale Ale (5.5%) / Pale Ale / Y.Market Brewing (Nagoya, Aichi)
- Wonder Mosaic (7.0%) / Nomcraft Brewing (Aridagawa, Wakayama)

The lineup spans a clean lager, a grapefruit-accented sour, a pale ale, and a stronger 7.0% beer. In other words, it gives drinkers a clear range to choose from depending on the mood of the day.

The post also highlights baked items such as sausage rolls, banana bread, chocolate banana bread, and chilled chocolate brownies. Practical details are part of the appeal too: nursing and diaper-changing space is available, strollers can be brought inside, and guests can bring in food from nearby shops with one drink order, though supermarket and convenience-store items are excluded. The post even mentions participation in "Natsuyasumi Kodomo Kenkyusho 2026," reinforcing the shop’s family-friendly, community-minded atmosphere.
