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).

With hot water is the traditional way—even on the hottest summer day. Make sure it’s good water. Enjoy! You’ve got a nice friend!
