The "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten" in Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, will be open on Wednesday, May 27 from 10:00 to 22:00. Even though it is a Wednesday, the shop opens early, making it an easy stop during a morning walk.

The highlight of the day is one new tap opening. Added to the lineup is Baeren Brewery's TG Pilsner. The shop describes it as "crisp and refreshing," "sharp and easy to drink," and "elegantly aromatic," making it sound like a classic pilsner you'd want to choose for your first glass.

In addition to that, the draft beer lineup also includes Minoh Beer's Pale Ale, Nomcraft Brewing's 7th Revolution Sour IPA, and Kyoto Brewing's Eleven Eleven Ten ~TOI TOI TO~. From a light pilsner to a pale ale and sour IPA that show off hop character, plus a beer with 8.0% ABV, the selection lets you choose according to your mood.

What makes the shop appealing is that it offers not only beer but also dagashi and coffee. With light bites and sweets such as shortbread, banana bread, scones, sausage rolls, and ice cream, it is easy to switch between snacks and coffee during the day and craft beer at night. It is a place to keep in mind for a day when you want to carefully choose your first drink in Shimosuwa.
