Camille flies from Paris to Tokyo after her estranged father, a famous wine critic, dies. His will leaves her his collection, but only if she beats his protégé Issei in a blind tasting contest.
Starring Fleur Geffrier, Tomohisa Yamashita
Drama fans who want a sober family story with a contest running through it will settle in, subtitles included. Camille avoids alcohol and gets sick on her first sip, yet she stays. She drills her nose with aroma samples until a whiff of truffle points her to an aged Cabernet. Tomohisa Yamashita plays Issei as a gifted taster, and wine explains these people better than their speeches do.
Season one opens deliberately, alternating between Camille's story and Issei's family, so give it two episodes; season two drops the contest for a global search.
