Craft beer in a neighborhood candy shop

Chiitoko Shoten, located at 3217-5 Midamachi-shimo in Shimosuwa, Nagano, will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13, 2026. In addition to craft beer, the shop serves espresso drinks and sells dagashi, traditional Japanese snack-shop sweets.

The Instagram post announces the day’s tap list, but the source page could not be retrieved in a form that exposed the beer and brewery names as text. Accordingly, no specific beer names are asserted here without verification.

The long opening window makes the shop suitable for different kinds of visits: coffee and snacks with a beer during the day, or a more focused tasting session in the evening. Tap availability may change, so visitors should check the shop’s official Instagram or Facebook before visiting.

Chiitoko Shoten offers a distinctive stop for beer fans exploring Shimosuwa—one where craft beer shares space with a familiar local candy-store feel.
