The private “Omakase Experience” promises a “transportive journey” with a master sushi chef, who will prepare carefully crafted dishes using fresh fish from daily flights.
Flyfish Club, which is a digital representation of collectables like art and music, started selling memberships via NFTs this month. VCR Group, the company that manages Flyfish Club, said Fortune that it has raised nearly $14 million from the sale of 1,500 tokens.
Two levels of membership are available. You can purchase a Flyfish Club NFT using ether, the cryptocurrency which runs on the Ethereum blockchain. At Friday’s prices, the “Flyfish” level costs 2.5 Ethereum, which is approximately $8,264. The premium Flyfish Omakase level costs 4.25ether or approximately $13,930.
According to Chainalysis, the Flyfish Club project is being launched at a time when the NFT market has exploded to $41 billion . The $69million sale of NFT artworks by Christie’s was a major milestone in the market’s history.
Flyfish Club NFTs allow members to access the dining club by displaying colourful renditions of sushi styles such as nigiri. Membership comes with other benefits. Fortune reported that David Rodolitz, CEO of VCR Group, said that members can also lease the equipment when they are out of town or even sell it.
The magazine reported that tokens were being resold via NFT marketplace OpenSea among Flyfish Club members as well as people who wish to become members.
One perk is notable absent. Flyfish Club members can only buy NFTs using cryptocurrency. However, members must pay for food and drink with fiat money (old-fashioned US currency).
