Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Puts Four Draft Beers on Tap
Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, announced four draft beers for Saturday, July 4, from 12:00 to 22:00. The lineup includes beers from Uchoten Brewing, Oni Densetsu Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Two Rabbits Brewing.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Chiitoko Shoten. If a spot in Shimosuwa is pouring four beers on tap from 12:00 to 22:00 on July 4, I’m paying attention.
MugiWhat? Four beers on tap already sounds great, and it’s at a shop with candy and coffee too? That is peak grown-up after-school energy!
Hop BroThe lineup is stacked: Uchoten Brewing’s Dinnninit ~Czech Pale Lager Export 15°~, Onidensetsu Beer’s Kinki Pale Ale, Shiga Kogen Beer’s Yuru Blue spelt, and Two Rabbits Brewing’s Iced Coffee Stout.
MugiNo way! Dinnninit already sounds like trouble, and Kinki Pale Ale sounds like a boss battle. I might trip over the order before I even drink it!
Hop BroBut the styles are nicely organized: Dinnninit is a Czech-style lager, Kinki is a pale ale, Yuru Blue spelt is a Hazy Wheat IPA, and Iced Coffee Stout is exactly what it says, a dark beer with coffee.
MugiHold on, Hazy Wheat IPA is like three beer words in a trench coat. My brain is foaming over here!
Hop BroHazy means cloudy, wheat gives it softness, and IPA brings hop aroma. On top of that, Yuru Blue spelt uses spelt wheat, so it should have an even rounder grain character.
MugiOhhh! Then Iced Coffee Stout sounds like it could lure in coffee fans and dark beer fans at the same time. Pair that with baked sweets and I may never leave.
Hop BroThat pairing is dangerously good. Chiitoko Shoten also has baked sweets ready, so I can already see the route: start with lager and finish with stout while snacking on dagashi.
MugiAnd the range of flavors is wild! Clean, hoppy, hazy, coffee-forward... if I go with friends, I’m absolutely doing a tasting round.
Hop BroTap lists and business hours can change, so check social media first, but this is the kind of lineup that makes me seriously debate my first pour. I’d open with Kinki.
MugiI’m starting with Dinnninit and landing on the stout. I want a pint now, and I’m clearing out enough stomach space for all four before we even get to Shimosuwa!
Chiitoko Shoten, located in Mita-machi Shimo, Shimosuwa, Nagano, announced its draft lineup for Saturday, July 4, with service from 12:00 to 22:00. As its name suggests, the shop blends dagashi, beer, and coffee in one space, and this day featured four draft beers.
The lineup was:
- `Dinnninit~Czech Pale Lager Export 15°~` / 有頂天醸造 / Czech Pale Lager
- `金鬼ペールエール` / 鬼伝説ビール / Pale Ale
- `ゆるブル spelt` / 志賀高原ビール / Hazy Wheat IPA
- `アイスコーヒースタウト` / Two Rabbits Brewing / Coffee Stout
The styles cover a wide range, from a Czech-style pale lager and a pale ale to a hazy wheat IPA and a coffee stout. That makes the tap list easy to read for beer fans looking for variety. `Dinnninit` brings the lager slot, `金鬼ペールエール` represents a pale ale from Hokkaido's Oni Densetsu Beer, `ゆるブル spelt` is a spelt-based hazy wheat IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer, and `アイスコーヒースタウト` gives the lineup a coffee-forward dark option.
Chiitoko Shoten also serves baked sweets alongside beer and coffee, so the stop works as more than just a drink spot. For visitors, it is a place where dagashi, coffee, and draft beer share the same counter. Since the tap list and opening details can change, checking the shop's Instagram or Facebook before going is the safest option.
