Hop BroToday, the draft beer tap opening at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa is the hot topic. On Sunday, April 19, it's open from 10:00 to 22:00, which makes it a perfect stop if you're out for a walk.
MugiWhat! 10:00 to 22:00 is long! You could go for a snack, or for a nightcap. That's unfair!
Hop BroAnd the highlight is Sanktgallen's Shonan Gold. It's a fruit beer made with the fruit and peel of Shonan Gold, and it has this soft, orange-like aroma.
MugiSo it's a fruit beer? But if it has restrained bitterness, does it still feel like beer?
Hop BroIt does. The key is that it doesn't lean too far into fruit sweetness and instead keeps the bitterness down for a crisp, clean finish. That's why it's a good first drink.
MugiOh! I like that there are four draft beers too. So, what kind of lineup is it?
Hop BroThe lineup also includes Y.Market Brewing's Beyond the Grid, Field Ales' Blend Pale, and Minoh Beer's MUGICHA. The styles and personalities are all different, so it's fun to compare them side by side.
MugiMUGICHA sounds interesting just from the name! Is it something like barley tea? But it's beer, right?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. Even if the name gives a light impression, it's often enjoyed as a toasty, fragrant glass in practice. Put it alongside dagashi and coffee at a place like Chiitoko Shoten, and it makes you want to drink even more.
MugiAnd being able to enjoy dagashi and beer in the same space is amazing! With sausage rolls and brownies too, it's basically a house of temptation.
Hop BroIt's easy to use with the Yotsukado Parking Lot information and PayPay support, and takeout is available too. Today really feels like a local beer pub, the kind of place that makes you want to drop in for one drink.
MugiYeah, my head is already at cheers with Shonan Gold! I want to snack on dagashi and take a little detour there.
