This is a fair enough criticism.
Most Japanese beer isn't anything terribly special compared to domestic beer, although it can be a little less astringent (to my palate).
It definitely isn't worth it if it's double the price. If it's $6 instead of $5, depending on the domestics available, sometimes I'll get it.
EXCEPTION: If you can find "Orion", buy it.
Tsingtao is really good though (obviously not Japanese). I don't think it has any dead-ringer domestic equivalent.
Also, your Canadian domestics are a hair better than most of ours, IMO. Labatt Blue is better than any Japanese beer other than Orion by a WIDE margin.
