Chiitoko Shoten pours Sanktgallen’s Pineapple Ale and three more draft beers on June 28
Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa, Nagano, updated its June 28 service notice with a Sanktgallen Pineapple Ale tapping, alongside draft beers from Minoh Beer, Kyoto Brewing, and Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroHere’s the topic today: Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa lined up four beers on tap.
MugiWait, what? Candy, beer, and coffee in one place? That’s too much good chaos!
Hop BroExactly. On June 28, “Dagashi to Beer to Coffee no Omise Chiitoko Shoten” tapped Sankt Gallen’s Pineapple Ale.
MugiThat sounds so summer-ready! Just the tropical name alone makes me thirsty.
Hop BroAnd that’s just the headliner. They also had Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale, Kyoto Brewing’s Hoppy Kolsch, and Shiga Kogen Beer’s anniversary IPA.
MugiHold on, Hoppy Kolsch? Is that a spell or a beer style?
Hop BroA beer, definitely. Kolsch is a light, easy-drinking German-style ale, and with extra hop aroma it becomes crisp but fragrant.
MugiOhh, so you’ve got fruity pineapple, classic pale ale, aromatic Kolsch, and an anniversary IPA. That’s a tasting flight dream.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal here. You can compare aroma and bitterness across the lineup, and the shop also has candy, baked treats, homemade ice cream, and coffee, which gives it elite stop-by power.
MugiThen it’s settled. If they’re open from 10:00 to 22:00, I’m grabbing sweets too, and my first pour is Pineapple Ale.

For a guest-beer stop, the range is broad without feeling crowded.
What sets the shop apart is its mix of beer with nostalgic dagashi, baked sweets, homemade ice cream, and coffee. That makes it an easy place to drop in for a pint, a snack, or both. For craft beer drinkers in Shimosuwa, it is a name worth keeping on the list.
