The Japanese anime series drops of God is focused on the search for the “Twelve Apostles,” a collection of the rarest and finest wines around the world, left by the main character’s father, a celebrated wine critic. In season 1 episode 7 named "Food and Wine," the quest for the 12 apostles continues with a new and exciting discovery.
Following the events that took place in the previous episode, the two main protagonists of the series, Miyabi and Shizuku, decide to take a small break from their search for the “Twelve Apostles” and explore the world of food and wine pairing. In their journey, they come across one of the most remarkable pairings in the industry: oysters and wine.
The episode begins with Miyabi and Shizuku taking a stroll around the city, considering the latest information they have received about one of the twelve apostles. As they pass by an oyster stand, they decide to try the dish even though Shizuku is not very fond of seafood. To his surprise, the pairing between the oyster and wine was unforgettable, something that he had not experienced before.
Due to their newfound interest, Miyabi suggests they go to a fancy restaurant where they can explore more food and wine pairings. Once there, they speak to the sommelier and ask him to help them understand more about the topic. Throughout their meal, the sommelier explains that the best wines to pair with seafood are light and crisp. For example, Sauvignon Blanc, a light white wine, complemented the oysters perfectly.
The restaurant teaches the audience the importance of food and wine pairing to bring out the best flavors in each. They even portray how the colors of the food and wine play a role in the pairing. The white wine, when combined with the white oyster, produced the perfect combination.
After their meal, Miyabi receives a call from his father’s former assistant, who conveys critical information about one of the Twelve Apostles they have been seeking. Shizuku overhears and realizes he may have some competition in the Apostle hunt, which sparks a new sense of motivation in both characters to continue scouring for the perfect vino.
The episode ends with a cliffhanger as they head back to their hotel room to review the new information they have received. Miyabi determines that the way to search for the Apostles is by exploring food and wine pairing continuously. A prospect that makes Shizuku excited and extremely motivated to go on more food and wine adventures.
