Chiitoko Shouten in Shimosuwa lists four draft beers including FLORA FERMENTATION’s Siren
Chiitoko Shouten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, is open from 10:00 to 22:00 on August 21. The tap list features four drafts from Shiga Kogen Beer, Swan Lake Beer, FARMENTRY, and FLORA FERMENTATION, alongside dagashi and coffee.
Hop BroToday’s feature is four taps at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa. They’re open from 10:00 to 22:00 on August 21, so it’s the kind of place where you can start early and stay way too long.
MugiWait, candy, beer, and coffee in one shop? That sounds like a child and an adult made a perfect alliance.
Hop BroAnd the tap list is properly varied. There’s Shiga Kogen Beer’s ‘HOUSE LAGER 3.02 Sankei Nishiki,’ Swan Lake Beer’s ‘Crystal Ale,’ FARMENTRY’s ‘KNOT,’ and FLORA FERMENTATION’s new beer ‘Siren’.
MugiHold on, Sake Rice Lager? Is that beer pretending to be sake, or sake sneaking into beer clothes?
Hop BroIt means a lager brewed with sake rice. In this case, the rice brings a clean, crisp feel. It’s still beer, just with a lighter, elegant character that makes you want another sip.
MugiOkay, then what on earth is a Spice Gose? That sounds like a spell you cast on a snack plate.
Hop BroGose is a traditional style with a little salinity and tartness, and this one adds spice on top. KNOT sits at 4.5%, while FLORA FERMENTATION’s Siren is a West Coast IPA at 6.5%, so the lineup really spans different moods.
MugiThat’s actually great. Lager, wheat, gose, IPA, it’s basically a choose-your-own-beer adventure. I could start soft with Crystal Ale and then get brave later.
Hop BroAnd the food side fits the shop perfectly. Sausage rolls, banana bread, scones, brownies, shortbread, plus coffee, all of that gives it the full Chiitoko vibe instead of being just another tap stop.
MugiNow I really want to go. I’d grab some candy, order Siren, and watch you start a lecture on sake rice. I want a daytime beer run immediately.
Draft lineup for August 21
Chiitoko Shouten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, will be open on Friday, August 21 from 10:00 to 22:00. In its post, the shop highlights a `NEW BEER` entry: FLORA FERMENTATION’s "Siren".
The day’s tap list includes four beers with distinct styles. Shiga Kogen Beer’s "HOUSE LAGER 3.02 Sankei Nishiki" is listed as a Sake Rice Lager.

It is a lineup that moves from lager to wheat ale, gose, and IPA, giving drinkers several directions to choose from.
What makes Chiitoko Shouten stand out is its mix of craft beer, dagashi, and coffee. The shop also serves light snacks and baked goods such as sausage rolls, banana bread, whole-wheat scones, cold chocolate brownies, and cookies. That makes it an easy stop for a quick pint, a casual beer-and-snack break, or a longer visit that pairs beer with sweets and coffee. The long opening hours also make it flexible for both daytime and evening drinking.
