The Drops of God

Shizuku Kanzaki, the only son of esteemed wine critic Yutaka Kanzaki, has grown up under the weight of his father's unconventional education, which was entirely centered around the world of wine. From mastering the art of decanting to memorizing the scents associated with various objects, Shizuku's upbringing has instilled in him a deep resentment for the very thing he was trained to appreciate. Seeking a life away from the influence of his father, he embarks on a journey as a beer sales representative, vowing to leave the world of wine behind.

However, everything changes when Yutaka's unexpected death pulls Shizuku back into the wine realm he despises. His father's will reveals a challenging inheritance: to claim the coveted estate and prized wine collection, Shizuku must identify the "12 Apostles" of wine and the fabled "Drops of God" within a year. Adding to the stakes, a newly adopted rival, Issei Tomine—a renowned wine critic—enters the fray, intensifying the competition for the inheritance. With no formal wine training, Shizuku faces an uphill battle against this experienced contender. As the clock ticks down, he must confront his past and rediscover his connection to wine in order to secure his future.
