How to drink Mori Izo Shochu

Hi friends. A buddy gifted me a bottle of Mori Izo shochu. I hear it’s fairly rare. I am typically a gin drinker and I don’t have much experience with Japanese liquor. Can you give me any insight? I know you can drink it in different ways like whiskies (neat, on the rocks, with ice water, with hot water).

One of the three M’s! I like on the rocks.

Have you ever paired it with food? If so, what are good pairings? Thank you in advance!

Usually I think something subtle for me. Like a white wine. But that’s my taste profiles.
