"Kami no Shizuku" (Japanese: 神のShizuku) is a Japanese manga about wine, written by Nao Aki and illustrated by Hide Okimoto. It has been serialized since 2004 in Kodansha's "Morning". The story tells the story of the famous wine critic Kamisaki Toyotaka who died of pancreatic cancer. Kamisaki Toyotaka left her last words and asked her son Kamisaki Shizuku to compete with her adopted son Tomine Issei to find the 12 bottles of wine he selected. The most outstanding wine in the world, "Kami Shizuku", which is at the top of the Twelve Apostles, the winner can get all his inheritance! The story has been adapted into a live-action version, and Tomohisa Yamashita's version will be broadcast on Netflix in 2023.

In comics, through various vivid language metaphors and picture descriptions, readers can directly feel what a wine looks like through their imagination, which is very useful for learning. I still remember a scene. A waiter in the restaurant broke a bottle of Kandy wine. The fragrance of flowers instantly filled the whole room, and the scene of thousands of flowers blooming in the garden came into view. At that moment, I remembered Kandy. It turns out that Kandy wine has a strong floral fragrance.
The comic does not use too many professional wine terms, but uses many beautiful clauses, such as: "It's like leaving your body to nature and turning leisurely like a small windmill.", "The dress without heavy makeup is easy to approach and You won’t get tired of drinking it.”, “Like a groom in a big dress”, “Like a white horse running on the prairie”, etc. The images and vivid descriptions of each wine make the wine full of romance and poetry. This set of comics is very suitable for wine beginners and is an introductory manual to wine. The circulation of "Drops of God" has exceeded 10 million copies, setting off a lasting wine craze across Asia.
As the comic became popular, the "Twelve Apostles" became famous and became a hot commodity in the market. Speaking of them, almost everyone who knows wine knows about them, but precisely because the "Twelve Apostles" shine so brightly, the other wines mentioned in this comic are ignored, but they don't know that they are also excellent.

The author, Ashu Nao (pseudonym), is actually two siblings, both of whom are wine lovers. In order to create this comic, they not only bought and tasted a large amount of wine, but also carefully selected all the wines that appear in the comic. Come out. The serialization started in 2004 and ended in 2014. It lasted for 10 years. "Drop of God" was remade into a Japanese drama in 2009 and 2023. Due to the huge impact of "Drops of God" on the Asian wine market, the two siblings even won the "Asian Wine Figures" award in 2016.
The truth is, after many people have tried the wine introduced in "Drops of God", they feel that it tastes better than the wine recommended by some authorities in the market. With the entire thoughtful layout, it’s no wonder that the comic “Drops of God” and the recommended wines are so popular. If you have never tried the wines recommended by "Drops of God", remember to try them!
