Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Announces Four Draft Beers Including Ise Kadoya Beer for 4/2
Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano Prefecture, has announced its business hours and draft lineup for Thursday, April 2. A total of four labels from Ise Kadoya Beer, Field Ales, and Shiga Kogen Beer will be on tap, along with a limited number of strawberry tarts.
Hop BroThe lineup of four draft beers in Shimosuwa is pretty great. Chiitoko Shoten posted its business notice for Thursday, April 2, and Ise Kadoya Beer, Field Ales, and Shiga Kogen Beer are all there.
MugiWait, a beer shop that has dagashi too!? And coffee as well? That's way too much information, and my head is starting to float!
Hop BroThat's the interesting thing about Chiitoko Shoten. It naturally connects dagashi and coffee, and the draft beer is serious too. It's open from 10:00 to 22:00, and it's closed on Saturday, April 4, so keep that in mind.
MugiWow! And there's even a limited-quantity tart? I went there for beer, but the sweet stuff is too tempting to even call it a detour.
Hop BroThere is, a strawberry tart. And the first tap is Ise Kadoya Beer’s Mugi no Manimani, an easy-drinking 5.0% beer. That kind of first pour really softens the shop's atmosphere.
MugiWait, what do you mean by easy-drinking? I always imagined beer hitting your throat hard, and even the name Manimani sounds laid-back, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroBasically, it means it isn't too heavy on the palate. The next one, Field Ales' Bitter Pale Ale, is 6.0% and puts a little bitterness forward. In other words, after something crisp, it gives you that 'oh, that's bitter' feeling properly.
MugiWhat is that, a bitterness entrance cue!? And there are two Shiga Kogen Beers too, so this is basically a serious tasting session.
Hop BroExactly. Shiga Kogen Beer has Baby Blonde Miyama at 5.0% and Snow Monkey IPA at 6.0%. Starting with a blond and finishing with an IPA makes for a really clean flow.
MugiGot it! So today it's a place where you can go from a daytime pint to beer tasting. If I snack on dagashi while drinking beer and then finish with a brownie, I might be so happy I won't want to go home!
The shop 'Dagashi to Beer to Coffee no Omise Chiitoko Shoten,' located in the lower Mida area of Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, shared its business information for Thursday, April 2. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the shop will be closed on Saturday, April 4. Strawberry tarts will also be available in limited quantities at the counter.
In the draft beer lineup, Ise Kadoya Beer’s 'Mugi no Manimani' (5.0%) comes first. Next are Field Ales' 'THE B ~Bitter Pale Ale~' (6.0%), Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'Baby Blonde Miyama' (5.0%), and, also from Shiga Kogen Beer, 'Snow Monkey IPA' (6.0%). With a blond, a bitter-style pale ale, and an IPA all on offer, the lineup lets customers choose from lighter to fuller-bodied options.
One of the shop's defining traits is that it doesn't limit itself to craft beer alone; dagashi, baked goods, and coffee all flow together naturally. In this post as well, dagashi, shortbread, banana bread, chocolate banana bread, whole-wheat scones, chilled chocolate brownies, oat chocolate chip cookies, and sausage rolls are listed, making visible a small table meant to be paired with beer.
What makes Chiitoko Shoten feel like Chiitoko Shoten is that, while beer is the center, sweet baked goods and light meals can be enjoyed together. From a daytime pint to evening tasting comparisons, it's a business notice that makes the shop easy to use as a neighborhood spot. Inquiries are accepted in-store or via DM.
