Chiitoko Shoten opens at 10:00 on May 13

'Chiitoko Shoten, the dagashi, beer, and coffee shop' in Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, will be open on May 13 from 10:00 to 22:00. Even though it’s a Wednesday, it opens in the morning, making it a convenient stop for daytime drinking, a break between shopping errands, or a visit along the way on a trip.

The post announces one new keg being tapped this time. The beer selected was Minoh Beer’s 'Spring Lager'. It’s a lager with a crisp, snappy finish, moderate malt character, and an elegant aroma, described in the post as 'refreshing yet satisfying to drink.' It’s the kind of beer that makes you want to keep gulping it down from a large glass.

Draft lineup for the day

- Spring Lager(5.0%)・・・Minoh Beer
- Neko ni Hiki(8.0%)・・・Ise Kadoya Beer
- Amane(4.0%)・・・Nobara Homestead Brewery
- Moon Calender(6.5%)・・・Nomcraft Brewing

There are four draft beers, ranging from lager to double IPA to a lighter, low-alcohol option. It’s a lineup you can choose from depending on your mood, which is great for beer fans.

What makes Chiitoko Shoten appealing is that it doesn’t stop at craft beer. Inside, in addition to coffee, lemonade, and homemade baked goods, you can also enjoy dagashi candy. Because it’s a place where you can relax with something sweet, it has the atmosphere of a beer pub that still feels easy to use in everyday life. Located in Odamachi, Shimosuwa, it was a helpful business notice for when you want a quick drink or something with more depth to savor.
