Kevin Abosch and Sake Company Asahi Shuzo collaborate for a unique NFT drop
Irish contemporary artist Kevin Abosch has partnered with CreativeWorkStudios and premium Japanese sake producer Asahi Shuzo to release a unique NFT collection. In addition to owning an NFT by a renowned artist, collectors will have the opportunity to claim bottles of a limited, exclusive and premium Dassai product from Asahi Shuzo.
About the NFT case
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 of Dassai sake especially for this drop. It is important to note that previous limited editions of the brand are highly sought after. In fact, one bottle fetched 843,750 yen ($8,026) at an auction in Hong Kong. NFT holders will have a window to claim these limited 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 we work with, in turn building both a maker and collector community that shares similar values to support each other within the NFT and blockchain space .”
“We are a community built on a shared desire to deliver valuable, meaningful and impactful projects that push boundaries, give back and set a precedent for artistic integrity that we feel should be universally aspirational. This collaboration is exactly that.”
The deadline for this project is 31 August. Whitelist registration is now open, allowing NFT collectors to purchase 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.
