It's still MEDIOCRE beer either way.
If you want to try A GREAT Japanese beer than try the Hitachino line of ales from the Kiuchi Brewery in Japan. I highly recommend the White Ale or the Red Rice Ale. Their greatest ales are not even imported! So if you're in Shibuya (or any of the other 22 special wards in Tokyo) pick me up a case of XH! I'll pay handsomely for it!  |
Ask
anyone from
any country in the world about the beer you know from that country, and they will tell you it is shit... This isn't just a Japanese beer thing, pretty much any international beer you can think of has way better choices in those countries. Why bring it up?

When you order Sake there's a 97.4% chance it is going to be shit quality sake (only 2.6% of Sake in the World is premium grade) served to you in a Tokkuri (Sake flask) that has been warmed up.

If it's a 97.4% chance, then why the hate? Obviously this means that most of us will never have the opportunity to even order the "premium grade" stuff.
