Chiitoko Shoten, the "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop" in Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, released its business information for Friday, April 24. In the post, the shop announced that it would be open from 10:00 to 22:00 that day, and also summarized its hours for the upcoming Golden Week period as well as guidance tied to a town-walking event in Shimosuwa.

As its name suggests, the shop is a beer pub that offers dagashi, craft beer, and coffee. According to the post, business hours are 12:00-22:00 on Wednesdays and 10:00-22:00 from Thursday through Monday, with last order for coffee at 21:00 and last order for everything else at 21:30. Dine-in guests are required to order at least one drink per person, and payment is cash or PayPay via a cash-on basis.

The draft beer lineup for the day consists of four varieties.

- Shonan Gold (5.0%) / Sankt Gallen
- Nikukyuu IPA (6.0%) / Ise Kadoya Brewery
- Kinki Pale Ale ~ADHA -218 Single ver.~ (5.5%) / Onidensetsu Beer
- MUGICHA (4.0%) / Minoh Beer

From the citrusy name "Shonan Gold," to the classic hop character you can expect from "Nikukyuu IPA," to the distinctive limited-batch feel of "Kinki Pale Ale ~ADHA -218 Single ver.," and "MUGICHA," which evokes the nuance of barley tea, the styles and labels are wonderfully varied. It's a lineup that really conveys the fun of tasting side by side.

The post also notes that, as a monthly regular promotion, M and L sizes of draft craft beer can be ordered at a better value no matter how many you have, and that takeout and walking-around beers are also offered at a discount. If you stop by while exploring Shimosuwa, you can enjoy both the friendliness of a dagashi shop and the freewheeling appeal of a beer pub.

The shop is located at 3217-5 Mida-cho Shimo, Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture. There is also guidance for using the Yotsukado parking lot, making it easy to drop in during a town stroll. As a place where you can enjoy craft beer as the centerpiece along with dagashi, coffee, and even the local atmosphere of Shimosuwa, this announcement is not one to miss.
