Four Draft Beers Offered at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa; Pineapple Ale Also on Tap
At "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten" in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano Prefecture, four draft beers were introduced along with its business hours of 10:00-22:00. As a shop that also carries dagashi, light meals, and coffee, it offers ways to enjoy the space beyond beer alone.
Hop BroChiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa is serving four draft beers, and the lineup is really interesting. Just the fact that dagashi, beer, and coffee all coexist there makes it feel like it's going to be fun.
MugiWhoa! Dagashi, beer, and coffee? That's way too much information in one place! I feel like my brain would be in a frenzy the moment I walk in!
Hop BroAnd since the shop is open from 10:00-22:00, it's great for everything from a daytime detour to an evening drink. Even if you're not in the mood for beer first thing in the morning, you can settle in with coffee first, which is a big plus.
MugiI see! So what are the beers on offer? If they have everything from classics to curveballs, it sounds easy for beginners to choose too!
Hop BroFirst there's Minoh Beer's Pale Ale, and then Kyoto Brewing's "Reviving Eagle - Hoppy Kolsch -". The pale ale is a classic that's easy to drink, while the kolsch is a crisp style with a pronounced hop aroma, and even the name sounds lively.
MugiWait, Hoppy Kolsch? What is that! It's a kolsch, but hoppy? Does it have two faces!?
Hop BroBasically, a kolsch is a light, easy-drinking style, and this adds hop aroma on top of that. So it's got that slightly sneaky deliciousness of being "light, but with plenty of aroma."
MugiGot it! Then I'm curious about Sankt Gallen's Pineapple Ale. Does it taste like fruity sweetness? Or more like juice!?
Hop BroAnd then Shiga Kogen Beer's No. 10 Anniversary IPA comes in, which is another great choice. Putting a fruity beer next to a beer with a strong presence makes tasting side by side a lot more fun.
MugiAnd there are snacks like brownies and scones too, right? Beer, something sweet, and then coffee at the end - that's basically a happiness course!
Hop BroExactly, and since they also offer takeout, it's nice that you can enjoy a favorite label at home at your own pace. A shop like this in Shimosuwa, where you can relax and have fun so easily, really makes you want to stop by.
MugiYeah, this is making me want a drink right now! Beer with dagashi on the side is just the best kind of fun!
The Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, was open with business hours of 10:00-22:00 and shared its draft lineup for the day.
The draft beers on offer were four varieties: Minoh Beer "Pale Ale", Kyoto Brewing "Reviving Eagle - Hoppy Kolsch -", Sankt Gallen "Pineapple Ale", and Shiga Kogen Beer "No. 10 - No. 10 Anniversary IPA -". From a standard pale ale to a hop-forward kolsch, a fruity pineapple ale, and a full-bodied anniversary IPA, the lineup brought together a clear range of flavors.
Chiitoko Shoten is distinctive for its arrangement, with dagashi lined up at the storefront, and in addition to beer and coffee, it also offers casual sweets and light snacks. This post also highlighted treats such as brownies, scones, shortbread, and homemade ice cream, giving the impression that even while the focus is craft beer, it is a place that's easy to stop by from daytime through the evening.
The draft beer and bottled beer are also available for takeout, so in addition to enjoying a drink in the shop, you can pick a favorite label and drink it again at home. In Shimosuwa, this is a spot worth noting as a place where the friendliness of a dagashi shop and the fun of craft beer can be enjoyed at the same time.
