Four kegs from Repubrew and Oni Densetsu tapped at Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa
Shimosuwa Town's "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten" updated its draft lineup along with its business notice for Monday, April 27. In addition to two new kegs from Repubrew, it is also serving two Oni Densetsu beers.
Hop BroAt Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa, four kegs from Repubrew and Oni Densetsu all showed up at once. A shop where you can move between dagashi, coffee, and beer is a pretty strong idea.
MugiWhat! You can enjoy dagashi, beer, and coffee all at the same time!? My mouth would be working overtime, but that sounds way too fun!
Hop BroFirst up among the new taps is Repubrew's Ultra・CAMPai Hazy Pale Ale. It's the second collaboration with Izu no Nushi Tsuri, and it keeps the flow of that CAMPali Hazy IPA while leaning into something softer and easier to drink.
MugiHuh! But Hazy Pale Ale means it's hazy but still a pale ale? Just the name is making my head float!
Hop BroPut simply, it keeps the tropical and juicy aroma while not being as heavy as an IPA. It also has the gentle sweetness from oats, so it's the kind of beer that goes down smoothly.
MugiI see! So that's what they mean by going down smoothly. The fact that it sounds good even while snacking makes it especially dangerous, and I love it!
Hop BroThe other new tap is Repubrew's 69IPA. This one has the dry drinkability you'd expect from a West Coast IPA, with aromas like citrus and citrus peel, plus solid bitterness.
MugiWhoa, this sounds like the opposite! If it has solid bitterness, beer fans are probably grinning already.
Hop BroWhat's more, when you drink it from the keg, the freshness really stands out. It's made with pint service in mind, so it's one you can enjoy slowly for both volume and aroma.
MugiAnd having Oni Densetsu Beer's Ao Oni Pilsner and Kinki Pale Ale in the regular lineup is seriously strong! If you can choose from lighter to more bitter styles, I want to stay here all day!
Hop BroRight? The fun of Chiitoko Shoten is that you can snack on dagashi while drinking and switch to coffee whenever you feel like it. On a night like this, I'd honestly want to seriously debate what my first glass should be.
MugiYeah, I'd start with Ultra・CAMPai Hazy and finish with Ao Oni at the end! This is the kind of thing that makes you want to head to Shimosuwa and drink right now!
Shimosuwa Town's "Dagashi, Beer, and Coffee Shop Chiitoko Shoten" announced that it will be open from 10:00 to 22:00 on Monday, April 27. As the name suggests, the shop is known for letting visitors enjoy dagashi, coffee, and craft beer together, and another pleasure is keeping up with the changing draft lineup.
There were two new taps that day. The first is Repubrew's "Ultra・CAMPai Hazy Pale Ale." It is introduced as the second collaboration with Izu no Nushi Tsuri, and while it keeps the tropical, juicy direction of the now-standard "CAMPali Hazy IPA," it has been finished as a softer, easier-drinking pale ale. Gentle sweetness from oats is also added, making it the kind of beer that goes down easily.
The other new tap is Repubrew's "69IPA." It is lined up as a beer with the dry drinkability typical of a West Coast IPA, along with aromas reminiscent of citrus and citrus peel, and it is aimed at people who want firm bitterness. The article also notes that freshness stands out when it is poured from the keg, and that it was designed with a pint serve in mind.
The regular draft lineup also includes Oni Densetsu Beer's "Kinki Pale Ale ~ADHA -218 Single ver~" and "Ao Oni Pilsner." With pale ale, IPA, and pilsner in the mix, the lineup offers options from light to firmly bitter styles. Another part of the fun at this shop is snacking on dagashi while switching between coffee and beer depending on your mood.
