Take a sip of sake as you read Vault’s BLEED THEM DRY

What goes best with a vampire ninja comic? How about sake based on the series? Vault Comics has announced that Bleed Them Dry Premium Sake will premiere in the U.S. with exclusive limited-edition collector sets in the Fall of 2021. Designs are by Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Magic: The Gathering, and upcoming Netflix production Exception) and is a one-of-a-kind collaboration with veteran Japanese sake maker Asahara Shuzo.

Amano has created intense, vampire-themed illustrations for the diverse flavors of the black and red variations. Collectors can purchase the sake in deluxe packages, which include high-quality digitally-signed prints of Amano’s original art created exclusively for the sake launch and rare one-on-one video chats with the artist.

“I’m really looking forward to the Bleed Them Dry Japanese sake brand launching in the U.S. this fall,” said Amano. “It’s connected to the American comic book series that was quite successful with sci-fi horror fans. The concept of the ‘Ninja Vampire’ is both frightful and thrilling, and I put those mixed feelings into creating the image that will be presented with ‘BTD Red’ and ‘BTD Black’. Both are Junmai Daiginjo super-premium sake and produced by the Asahara Shuzo brewery, which has a great reputation. I hope you will enjoy the sake and my work. Kampai!”

The artist offers a personal video message to fans. Check it out below:
