Kevin Abosch and Sake Company Asahi Shuzo Partner For a Unique NFT Drop
Irish contemporary artist Kevin Abosch has partnered with CreativeWorkStudios and premium Japanese sake producer Asahi Shuzo to drop a unique NFT collection. In addition to owning an NFT by a renowned artist, collectors will be given the opportunity to claim bottles of a limited, exclusive and premium Dassai product from Asahi Shuzo.
About the NFT drop
The collaboration includes 777 unique 1-of-1 NFTs by Kevin Abosch. The artworks were created as a result of the artist’s engagement with millions of data points related to both Dassai sake brewing and Asahi Shuzo’s values.
Asahi Shuzo will then create a limited edition Dassai sake specifically for this drop. It is important to note that previous limited editions of the brand are highly sought after. In fact, a bottle fetched 843,750 yen ($8,026) at an auction in Hong Kong. NFT holders will have a window to claim these limited-edition physical bottles, which will be shipped to collectors worldwide.
J.Harry Edmiston, the founder of CreativeWorkStudios, said: “We both curate and empower artists with the brands that we work with, in turn, building both a creator and collector community sharing similar values to support one another within the NFT and blockchain space.”
“We are a community built on a shared want to deliver valuable, meaningful, and impactful projects that push boundaries, give back and set a precedent of artistic integrity that we feel should be universally aspirational. This collaboration is exactly that.”
The drop date for this project is 31 August. Whitelist registration is now open, which allows NFT collectors to buy an NFT for 1.25 ETH. Conversely, the public sale price is 1.5 ETH and the remaining Kevin Abosch works will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. It is important to note that this project will support the Blue Marine Foundation. It is an NGO that deals with marine conservation and overfishing.
