There's a lot of nihonshu I like, but probably just as much I dislike. I love most the stuff from Suwa and Hida (coincidentally where I've drunk the widest variety of sake). In winter I'm never happier than when I'm drinking a flask of atsukan. As far as shochu goes, I can't drink the cheap stuff, but if it's medium to high quality (preferably imojochu) I'm happy. I'm by no means a connoisseur, but I certainly appreciate the complexity of nihonshu.

However I guess that most Japanese people really want to be Scottish, as they largely drink beer (supposedly first manufactured in Japan by Scottish and English traders) and whiskey. They're also really keen on golf. Hm...
