DALLAS: As North Texas gears up for a month of FIFA World Cup fun, the Crow Museum of Asian Art will host From Dallas to the World: A Toast to a Summer of Soccer on Saturday, June 13, from 6-9 p.m. Presented in partnership with Japanese restaurant Musume, the 21-and-up event will transform the adjacent Trammell Crow Center Plaza into a festive open-air beer garden featuring Japanese brews and bites, live music and after-hours access to the museum galleries. Timed on the eve of the Japan-Netherlands faceoff, the evening invites North Texans and tourists alike to gather in the heart of the Dallas Arts District for a celebration of culture, community and the spirit of the world’s game.
General admission tickets are on sale now for $25, with limited tickets available for an exclusive tasting experience led by Musume Executive Chef Yuki for $125.
“There’s an unmistakable energy surrounding North Texas this summer, and we wanted to create an event that feels festive, welcoming and connected to the excitement happening across the city,” said Amy Hofland, director of the Crow Museum of Asian Art. “Whether you're local or visiting Dallas for the first time, the Crow Museum offers a uniquely cultural place to gather over great food and drink and experience Texas hospitality right here in the heart of Downtown Dallas."
Guests will enjoy six curated 2-ounce pours of Japanese beer served at tasting stations throughout the plaza, with experts offering insight into brewing traditions, flavor profiles and regional styles. Japanese-inspired bar snacks will accompany the tastings, while live music and the surrounding Arts District atmosphere create a festive backdrop for mingling and conversation.
A limited number of guests may upgrade to an exclusive culinary tasting experience led by Musume Executive Chef Yuki. During the intimate one-hour omakase session, Chef Yuki will pair fresh fish with Japanese whisky across six courses while sharing insights into sourcing, pairing techniques and his personal culinary journey from Japan to Dallas. Guests will also receive a specialty gift bag from the Crow Museum and Musume. Two tasting sessions will be offered from 6:15-7:15 p.m. and 7:30-8:30 p.m.
