There is also a great Kami no Shizuku review by Peter Musolf of Yokohama in the Journal of Wine Economics. Also for free.

I need some time to let it jell, but that is powerful stuff.

And thanks for catching the typo — I was just fixing the spelling when I saw your comment.

The show is so popular, we had a poster printed and hung in window of a wine store where I was a partner, located in mostly asian neighborhood in SF Bay Area to attract passers-by. I admire the format of the TV series, as it makes wine interesting, alluring, mystical – something that has been difficult to capture in just wine writing or wine video blogs (like GaryVee’s) to date. Kami no Shizuku is the best prime-time-TV quality wine programming I’ve seen to-date. It proves to me that good writing can attract audiences. I applaud the Japanese for pulling this off (just as they did with the Iron Chef series), and in the process changing the way Asians look at wine.

Best regards,
Iron Chevsky.
