Kiyosato Ballet 28th Anniversary: A Rare Work by Three Japanese Master Blenders
The Kiyosato Ballet series has always been considered one of the most challenging Japanese whisky series to complete. The 28th-anniversary edition is particularly special because it was a collaboration between three prominent blenders: Suntory Chief Blender Seiichi Koshimizu, 5th Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, and Chichibu founder Ichiro Akuto. These three industry giants coming together to bottle for the same artistic event is a rare combination in itself. Combined with the use of mostly aged and some now-discontinued original whiskies, it has maintained long-term discussion in auctions and the secondary market—this is a strong selling point for current owners.
Why is Kiyosato Ballet called a "liquid artwork"?
This series was created for Japan's "Kiyosato Field Ballet": a cultural event combining natural scenery with ballet performances, which is annually featured on the labels and bottling themes. The black ballet silhouette label design transforms the contrast of light and shadow into a visual language, contributing to its collectible value alongside the liquid itself. For collectors, it sells not just flavor, but a preserved artistic memory—this cultural scarcity is a source of valuation that regular whiskies cannot replicate, and it is why it frequently becomes a focal point in the secondary market.

Details Buyers Most Frequently Ask About Chichibu 28th Anniversary Kiyosato Ballet
Q: How can I get an accurate valuation for my Chichibu 28th Anniversary Kiyosato Ballet?
A: Simply stating the wine name is usually not enough. It's best to include clear photos of the liquid level, seal, and accessories. Buyers typically consider the edition, preservation status, and recent transaction prices. The more complete the information, the more accurate the price.
Q: There are so many anniversary editions in the Kiyosato Ballet series. How do I know how much my bottle is worth?
A: Each anniversary edition has a different blending background, original whisky composition, and market circulation. Valuations need to be made per edition. The most direct method is to send us clear photos of the label and vintage, and our team will compare it with recent transactions of the same edition and then provide a market-aligned price range.
Q: The gift box has some minor dents, but the bottle and label are intact. Will this significantly reduce the price?
A: Generally, it won't lead to a significant deduction. Collectors value the condition of the liquid and label the most. Minor dents on the gift box are usually acceptable; as long as there is no severe damage or mold, the impact on the overall valuation is limited. When sending photos, simply highlight the dented areas.
Q: I have several Chichibu bottles. Can I get them all valued at once?
A: Yes, and we can process them together. When selling multiple bottles at once, we will verify the editions and conditions of the entire batch before quoting a price. This saves time during organization and handover, and allows you to understand the current value of your entire collection at once.
If you are planning to sell your Chichibu 28th Anniversary Kiyosato Ballet, take clear photos of the bottle, outer box, and certificate separately, and WhatsApp them to 46135750; if the price is suitable, we can then arrange for doorstep collection or pickup at our store.
