Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa pours Cascade Yazamani and CHELADA on July 27
Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, announced its July 27 (Mon) service hours of 10:00-22:00. The tap list features four beers: Buddy from Uchon Soken, CHELADA from Repubrew, Seiryoyoka from Ushitora Brewery, and Cascade Yazamani from Shiokaze Blue Lab.
Hop BroToday's four taps at Chiitoko Shoten are seriously stacked: Uchoten Brewing's "Buddy," Repubrew's "CHELADA," Ushitora Brewery's "Seiryo Inryo Sui," and Shiokaze Blue Lab's "Cascade Yazamani."
MugiWait, candy, beer, and coffee in one shop? My inner kid and inner grown-up are about to start a fight!
Hop BroAnd it's open from 10 to 22, stroller-friendly, and if you order one drink, you can even bring in food from nearby spots.
MugiWhoa, and Cascade Yazamani sounds like a finishing move! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's Shiokaze Blue Lab's first appearance there, brewed by Chris, who spent years making beer at Baird. It's a pale ale built with Cascade hops from different regions, so it's grassy, gently bitter, and very classically styled.
MugiHold on, different-region Cascade? The same hop changes personality depending on where it grew? That's idol tour logic!
Hop BroPretty much. Even the same variety shifts depending on where it's grown, so this is really a hop origin comparison in pale ale form, with green aromatics and soft bitterness leading the way.
MugiOkay, then what about CHELADA? Beer with salt sounds like a sports drink with an attitude!
Hop BroThat's Repubrew doing a Mexican lager with lime, corn, and Toda salt. The big draw is clean summer refreshment; even at 5.0%, it still drinks super easy.
MugiThat already sounds dangerous in the best way. But what about Buddy and Seiryo Inryo Sui? Those names are way too strong to be side characters!
Hop Bro"Buddy" is a 5.0% Czech lager from Uchoten, neat and crisp, while "Seiryo Inryo Sui" is a 4.5% session IPA from Ushitora. So the lineup runs from lager to IPA without a weak spot.
MugiNope, I'm finished. I want a brownie or sausage roll and then drink all four in order! That kind of "quick stop" never stays quick.
Hop BroSame here. Start with CHELADA for the first gulp, then take your time with Cascade Yazamani after walking around Shimosuwa. That's a one-pint won't cut it kind of stop.
Draft lineup for July 27
Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano, will be open on Monday, July 27 from 10:00 to 22:00. In its post, the shop listed four beers on draft for the day.
- Buddy - Uchon Soken / Czech Lager / 5.0%
- CHELADA - Repubrew / Mexican Lager w/Salt / 5.0%
- Seiryoyoka - Ushitora Brewery / Session IPA / 4.5%
- Cascade Yazamani - Shiokaze Blue Lab / Pale Ale / 5.0%
The standout new name is Shiokaze Blue Lab's Cascade Yazamani, introduced as the brewery's first appearance at the shop. The beer is described as a classic pale ale brewed by Chris, who spent years making beer at Baird, and it uses Cascade hops from multiple regions for a green, slowly bitter profile. Another new addition, CHELADA, combines lime, corn, and Toda salt for a crisp Mexican lager that is positioned as a strong summer choice.
Chiitoko Shoten pairs craft beer with dagashi, coffee, and baked sweets in one relaxed space. The post also highlights items such as sausage rolls, banana bread, chocolate banana bread, wholewheat scones, and chilled chocolate brownies. Family-friendly details are included as well: nursing and diaper-changing space is available, and strollers can be brought inside.
For solo drinkers, the shop notes that outside food from nearby businesses may be brought in with one drink order. It is a practical stop for a beer, a snack, and a short break while exploring Shimosuwa.
