Highway Pop-Up
The Highway Restaurant and Bar in East Hampton will share its space with Shuko Beach, a pop-up Japanese restaurant, on Friday and Saturday evenings this summer (Thursday night service will be added in August).
Starting July 6, the pop-up, an offshoot of Manhattan’s Shuko restaurant, will operate a six-seat chef’s counter offering a sushi omakase menu, that is, a selection of sushi chosen by the chef. There will be three nightly seatings at the counter — at 6, 8, and 10 — and the menu will include a vinegar-based Sunomono starter course, followed by a 16-piece sushi progression. The cost will be $150 per person.
Highway’s dining room will also serve Shuko Beach’s creations, offering curated bento boxes for dine-in or takeout. A regular bento box, which serves two people, will feature 12 pieces of sushi and two rolls for $180. The large bento box, which serves four, will include 24 pieces of sushi and four rolls for $360. Reservations for Shuko Beach open in June on resy.com.
