No Djinn you did it wrong. You're supposed to go,
"Correct me if I'm wrong but...haven't you like...not had shochu in Japan?
Cause if so...
I don't care if you hate it for everything it is conceptually, you have no standing in whether a drink is good/bad until you drink that, you know it, and much as you can try to argue otherwise, you'll just make a bigger idiot of yourself for pretending to know the quality of a drink.
Hating a drink and disagreeing is one thing. Hating a drink you never drank in the right country just because you say so is pretty much bottom tier of intelligence.
If you HAVE drank shochu in Japan, then feel free to disregard this post, though my point stands for all other drinks."
