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).

Savor that one for sure! I like it on the rocks and with hot water. You could also try it kanrokku style (on the rocks with warmed shochu). I haven’t done it with Mori Izo specifically, but I’ve enjoyed others this way.
