Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Adds Kyoto Brewing Ichi-Go Ichi-E to the Draft Lineup
Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa, Nagano, posted a June 8 opening update for its beer-and-coffee shop and highlighted one new tap: Kyoto Brewing's saison Ichi-Go Ichi-E. The lineup also includes beers from Ise Kadoya Brewery, Oni Densetsu Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroToday, the tap list at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa looks seriously good. They just tapped Kyoto Brewing's "Ichigo Ichie."
MugiWhat! One brand-new keg already sounds exciting. And "Ichigo Ichie" feels like a beer that wants me to cherish the moment!
Hop BroThat is exactly the charm. It's Kyoto Brewing's classic saison, 5.0% ABV, with a dry finish, gentle bitterness, and herbal, spicy notes.
MugiHold on, you said classic saison like that explains everything. What is a saison? A spell? A fancy beer password?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a farmhouse beer style that's light, crisp, and aromatic, so it drinks really well in warm weather. Sounds technical, tastes very approachable.
MugiOhhh, so it's basically perfect for hot days! Literary name, refreshing personality. I respect the range.
Hop BroAnd the full lineup is strong too, with four beers on tap: Onishibori Lager, KASUMI, and a Sour IPA with strawberry and raspberry alongside Ichigo Ichie.
MugiNo way, from lager to sour IPA? That setup covers the "just one easy pint" crowd and the "give me tangy chaos" crowd at the same time!
Hop BroThe shop concept is the real hook too: snacks, beer, and coffee in one place. Coffee by day, draft beer later, plus house-made baked treats. Very well designed.
MugiI am officially ready for a toast with Ichigo Ichie. Then baked sweets, maybe another pour, and suddenly I'm emotionally checked into Shimosuwa.
