Hop BroToday’s topic is that Chiitoko Shoten in Nagano’s Shimosuwa is opening at 10:00. Since it will be open from 10:00 to 22:00 on May 23, it’s great because you can use it for a daytime break or an evening drink.
MugiWait, dagashi, beer, and coffee all in one place!? That kind of greedy combo sounds like it would keep both your stomach and your mood busy at the same time!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The shop has the feel of a beer pub and a neighborhood store at the same time, so you can stop by casually but still really enjoy craft beer.
MugiHuh, beer sounds complicated though... The article said they rotate around four kinds, but do they really change that often?
Hop BroYeah, that’s one reason people want to keep coming back. For example, there’s a label like from scratch, and sometimes Shiga Kogen Beer x Dogfish Head x Oxbow’s Kind of Gold is on the menu too.
MugiWhat is that! The name alone is causing a traffic jam in my head! And Kind of Gold sounds golden, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a distinctive IPA made with rice and honey. In addition to hop aroma, it tends to have a soft character from the ingredients, which is interesting because it’s not just a big hit of flavor.
MugiWait, an IPA with rice and honey? That suddenly sounds stylish! It seems easy to drink, but it probably still has something to say!
Hop BroThey also put in seasonally fitting bottles like Minoh Beer’s Spring Lager and Kyoto Brewing’s Summer Whim, so the variety in the lineup is part of the fun.
MugiI see, so the flow is: snack on dagashi, take a coffee break, and finish with beer. Now I really want to make a detour in Shimosuwa too, and I’m already in the mood to drink!

Having dagashi creates the enjoyment of having a light snack before or after beer, and having coffee connects it to daytime cafe use as well.

This announcement about its hours conveys that character exactly as it is. If you are looking for craft beer in Shimosuwa, this is one spot to put at the top of your list.
