Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa announces four draft beers for April 20; new tap of Kinki Pale Ale
The craft shop and beer and coffee spot <DAGASHI TO BEER TO COFFEE NO OMISE CHIITOKO SHOTEN> in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano Prefecture, has released its business notice for Monday, April 20. The new tap is Oni Densetsu Beer’s "Kinki Pale Ale ~ADHA -218 single ver~," and the lineup that day includes four draft beers, among them Shonan Gold, Beyond the Grid, and MUGICHA.
Hop BroChiitoko Shoten on April 20 is definitely one to watch. Four draft beers are lined up, so it feels like you can enjoy the atmosphere of Shimosuwa itself.
MugiWait, what?! There’s a new tap? The fact that there’s a new beer on tap already has me getting restless!
Hop BroThe new tap is Oni Densetsu Beer’s "Kinki Pale Ale ~ADHA -218 single ver~." With a finish that uses a hop Oni Densetsu has never used before, it brings citrus and berry notes, plus a moderate bitterness.
MugiADHA and -218 sound like code names! There are so many symbols, but it does sound strong and tasty!
Hop BroThis kind of notation often shows up when a brewer wants to highlight hop character or recipe differences. The appeal of a single ver is that even within the same style, the outline of the aroma comes through more clearly.
MugiOhh! Then I’d want to line up the other taps and compare them too. It’s fun just from the names alone, and having Shonan Gold there too is almost unfair!
Hop BroExactly. Shonan Gold is from Sankt Gallen at 5.0%, Beyond the Grid is from Y.Market Brewing at 6.0%, and MUGICHA is from Minoh Beer at 4.0%. The range for tasting side by side is a really solid lineup.
MugiAnd they even have dagashi and coffee! Even though it’s a beer pub, it kind of feels like after-school time, which is nice. With dagashi and coffee there, I’d end up staying a long time!
Hop BroAnd since they’re open from 10:00 to 22:00, it’s easy to stop by whether it’s daytime or night. I like how it has that feeling of a drink as part of everyday life.
MugiAlright, decided! I’m starting with the Kinki Pale Ale, and Hop Brother is in charge of explaining everything while we compare them all. One drink in Shimosuwa, decided!

Of course, craft beer is the main draw, but the shop’s character also comes from being a place where you can enjoy it together with dagashi and coffee.
