1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Slice the cucumber with peeler to make long thin strips.
3. Place shiso leaves (optional) on a serving platter and put the cookie cutter on top of a shiso leaf. Stuff sushi rice into the
cookie cutter about half way and remove the cutter gently. Roll the sushi cylinder with one strip of cucumber
slice to measure the circumference of the circle.

the rice.

6. Slice the sashimi-grade fish perpendicular to the muscle (the white line you see in the fish) and place a few
slices in the cucumber cup.
7. Garnish with lemon and Daikon radish sprouts. Serve immediately.
