Hi(ball)! 🥃 I get asked this a lot: “So what exactly is SAKAZUKI?” So here’s SAKAZUKI in 3 pages. 😁 For people who already love Japan — and want to go deeper. 🇯🇵 This is SAKAZUKI. ↓

This is what we hoped ZANSHIN would become. Not just the places we visited, but the people we shared them with. One final evening together in Asakusa. 🥁 Cheers🥃

Hi(ball)! I really didn’t want this night to end😭 Our final evening of ZANSHIN. Taiko in Asakusa 🥁 Good food, good drinks, and a lot of laughs. What a way to finish.

Love what you’re doing! Keep going! #hiddengems #Sakazuki #Rize3x

Hi(ball)! What does a watch have to do with ZANSHIN? 😁⌚️ EPSON, soba, Matsumoto — and somehow, the Charlie Burger. 😂 Another great day with this crew. Tomorrow, back to Tokyo! 🥁

My mission with @SDNFTFriends is to teach others about web3 tech while uplifting the founders & projects that have real substance like VeeFriends, Moonbirds, Pudgy Penguins, Rekt, & Sakazuki. I put their products into the hands of the people and help them connect the digital to the physical world. It really makes my job that much easier! Thank you @Red_Pill_Rick for always extending the opportunity for me to share & represent the NFT brands that I love.

Hi)ball)! Someone told me, “Charlie, there’s someone you should meet.” So I went to Asakusa. SAKAZUKI Journal 010. Coming soon. 🥃
