Four Kegs Opened at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa, Including Minami Shinshu Beer’s "Apple Hop Orion Ver."
On May 4, the "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten" in Shimosuwa Town was open from 10:00 to 22:00. Four brands from Minami Shinshu Beer, Miyazaki Hideji Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Baird Brewing were on tap, offering something to enjoy alongside dagashi snacks.
Hop BroAt Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa, you can enjoy dagashi snacks and craft beer together today.
MugiWhoa! Dagashi and beer actually go that well together!?
Hop BroAnd on May 4, it’s OPEN 10:00〜22:00, so it’s nice because you can stop by and relax from midday.
MugiWow! If it’s open that long, it’s perfect for a quick drink too!
Hop BroToday’s draft lineup has four beers on tap: Taiyo no Lager, Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label, Apple Hop Orion Ver., and Rising Sun Pale Ale.
MugiWhat! Lager and IPA are different how?
Hop BroSimply put, lager is crisp and easy to drink, while IPA puts the hop aroma front and center. Pale ale is somewhere in between, so it has a balanced feel.
MugiI see! So that means there’s a wide range of flavors to choose from depending on your mood.
Hop BroWhat really catches my attention is Minami Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Orion Ver.. It apparently has a refreshing fruitiness and gentle sweetness like Orion apples, with acidity layered in beautifully.
MugiWait, an apple beer with 6.0% alcohol!? Cute face, but strong little one!
Hop BroExactly, but it goes down lightly, and the appeal is that you can really enjoy the apple character. If you drink it while snacking on dagashi, it’s almost unfairly fun.
MugiNow I totally get it! If I’m having a drink in Shimosuwa, this is the place I’d want to stop at today!
Hop BroRight, and the best part is how relaxed and unpretentious the atmosphere is. Let’s have a laid-back toast today with dagashi and beer.

Draft lineup for the day

Among them, Minami Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Orion Ver. is described as a beer with a refreshing fruit character, gentle sweetness, and a balanced acidity that feels distinctly like Orion apples. Although the post notes that it has an alcohol content of 6.0%, it is said to go down smoothly, and is introduced as a beer that lets you fully enjoy its apple impression.
With a lager, an IPA, and a pale ale all available, the range of flavors is clear. From an easy-drinking pint to one that highlights hop aroma, it is easy to choose depending on your mood that day. Whether you want to have a light drink while snacking on dagashi or stop by just for coffee, it feels like a naturally approachable place to enjoy craft beer without any pretense.
