Hop BroThe lineup at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa is strong today, with four beers on tap worth talking about.
MugiWait, candy, beer, and coffee in one place? That is an overloaded shop concept, and now I have to know more!
Hop BroThe big draw is FARMENTRY’s new release KNOT, a spiced gose made with sudachi, juniper berry, and dill.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to be? Spiced gose sounds like a spell from a fantasy game!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a salty, tart beer. Then the sudachi adds brightness and the herbs give it extra layers.
MugiNo way, and the article says it also has a gentle banana aroma? Fruit, herbs, salt, everything is happening at once!
Hop BroThat comes from weizen yeast. Basically, it creates a soft wheat-beer aroma, which helps tie KNOT’s flavors together.
MugiOkay, that actually makes sense now! So the other taps are also a pick-your-mood lineup?
Hop BroExactly. Shiga Kogen Beer’s HOUSE LAGER 3.02 Sankei Nishiki is a sake-rice lager, Mugamuchu is an American wheat ale, and Swan Lake Beer’s Crystal Ale rounds things out with a hazy IPA option in the mix.
MugiFrom lager to IPA, plus baked sweets, and even an easy drop-in atmosphere? Now I seriously want a glass before they close at 10 p.m.
Draft lineup
Chiitoko Shoten, a shop in Shimosuwa, Nagano that serves dagashi, beer, and coffee, announced service through 10:00 p.m. on August 16, 2026, with four draft beers on tap. The highlight is the newly listed FARMENTRY "KNOT," described as a spice gose brewed with sudachi, juniper berry, and dill, with a soft banana note from Weizen yeast plus salt and acidity.
