Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa lists four draft beers for July 17
Chiitoko Shoten, a dagashi, beer, and coffee shop in Shimosuwa, Nagano, posted its July 17 opening notice and draft lineup on Instagram. The selection features beers from Baird Brewing, Baeren, Y.Market Brewing, and Nomcraft Brewing.
Hop BroDown in Shimosuwa, Chiitoko’s four taps for July 17 look seriously strong as a first-beer lineup.
MugiWhat! That shop name covers everything. Candy, beer, and coffee all in one place? That’s after-school and grown-up time at once!
Hop BroThey’re open 10:00 to 22:00, and the tap list pulls from Baird Brewing, Baeren, Y.Market Brewing, and Nomcraft Brewing, so it’s a four-brewery showcase.
MugiNo way, that means I’ve got the which one first problem already. Hit me with the names and styles!
Hop BroBaird’s Cool Breeze Pils is a 5.5% pilsner, Baeren’s Schwartz is also 5.5%, Y.Market’s Purple Jet Sky Pale Ale is 5.5%, and Nomcraft’s Wonder Mosaic is 7.0%, with two new beers on the board.
MugiWait, what? Schwartz sounds like a spell. How is something dark also easy to drink?
Hop BroSchwartz is a German-style dark beer, and the key is toasty roasted malt without turning heavy, so it can feel rich but still finish clean, just like the post says.
MugiOhhh! Then I want the chuggable pils, but I’m also eyeing that 7% Wonder Mosaic... who even is Mosaic?!
Hop BroFrom the name, it likely points to Mosaic hops, and at minimum it reads like the lineup’s heavier hitter. With a pilsner, a dark beer, a pale ale, and a 7% option, it’s a pick-your-mood lineup.
MugiAnd they’ve got sausage rolls, banana bread, and even outside food with a drink? That’s snacks and sweets dual-wielding. I already want a Cool Breeze Pils.
Hop BroThey’ve even got a nursing room, stroller access, and prepaid by cash or PayPay, so the whole place feels easy to drop into. I’d start with Cool Breeze first and absolutely keep going to the Schwartz.
Chiitoko Shoten, a shop in Shimosuwa, Nagano, posted its July 17 service notice on Instagram. The shop, which combines dagashi, beer, and coffee, listed four draft beers for the day and set its opening hours at 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Draft beers
- Cool Breeze Pils, 5.5% / Pilsner / Baird Brewing (Shizuoka, Shuzenji)

The post highlights Cool Breeze Pils and Schwartz as the new beers of the day. The former is described as a floral, crisp pilsner designed for easy drinking, while the latter is presented as a rich-looking black beer that still goes down smoothly. With a pilsner, a dark beer, a pale ale, and a stronger 7% option, the lineup is broad enough to suit different preferences.
The shop’s appeal goes beyond beer. Dagashi, coffee, and baked sweets are part of the experience, with items such as sausage rolls, banana bread, brownies, and cookies on offer. The post also notes that food from nearby businesses can be brought in with the purchase of one drink, and that a nursing room, diaper-changing space, and stroller access are available.
Payment is cash or PayPay in advance. For visitors in Shimosuwa, it looks like a place where beer and sweets can sit on the same table without feeling out of place.
