After Hours (21+): Kimono

Join the MFA for our first 21+ party with In Between Days to celebrate our exciting new exhibition, Kimono: The Triumph of Japanese Dress, we’ll be hosting an inspired event featuring live music from DJ Sein, a signature cocktail, Asian street foods from In Between Days’ chef, and woodblock printing with Print St. Pete, so you can walk away with your very own commemorative poster. Limited time stamp tickets are also available for a sake tasting with sake sommelier Noah Sain as he walks you through a dry, sweet, and a complex sake. 

Take a look at the new exhibition that features over 150 kimono and accessories, alongside photography, woodblock prints, and decorative arts. Come for the pork belly skewers, short rib gyoza, and a seafood bar. Connect and experience a fun night with your friends, enjoy the cash bar, and even try your hand at some origami. See you there

FEATURING

IN BETWEEN DAYS

Inspired by the underground listening bars of Tokyo, their little house is warmed by a pair of 1972 Klipsch Cornwalls that adorn the back of the bar paired with two turn-tables and a diverse vinyl collection. Oil lanterns cascade amber light while sake is poured into eager glasses. They play full sides. Their sake is chilled. Their oysters are served in the classic French style. It’s not Tokyo, but it’s close.

SAKE WITH NOAH

Noah, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a Certified Sake Sommelier and Sake Educator with a deep passion for sharing the world of sake. Noah is a Florida native with over a decade of experience in the service industry, having worked in restaurants across St. Petersburg since 2012. As the beverage director of a Tokyo-inspired vinyl listening and sake bar, where he discovered his passion for sake, Noah blends his love for music and sake culture to create an authentic, immersive experience. With expertise in pairing sake with a rotating food menu, Noah offers a unique perspective on both traditional and contemporary styles. In addition to running a sake bar, Noah teaches Certified Sake Sommelier courses and hosts a monthly ‘Sake Club,’ fostering a growing community of sake enthusiasts in the area.

DJ SEIN

The local DJ is known for setting the mood and spinning through his vinyl collection. As the resident DJ for In Between Days, he’s brought music to the community whether it be jazz, disco, dance, experimental, or funk rock. DJ Sein came up in Atlanta’s underground in the mid-nineties and is lauded for his unique collection of 10,000+ records. As the in-house musical curator, he’s been filling their shelves with some of his favorites from the last 30 years.
