1/3 C Japanese vinegar
1/3 C sugar
1 t salt

4 Japanese cucumbers
1 carrot 
Optional: small clams

You may wish to peel strips of the cucumber skin with a potato peeler so that you get a green and white stripe pattern first. Slice into thin pieces.

Now comes the hard part –  cut 4 or 5 V shapes into carrots lengthwise, then slice thin. You should get carrot flowers. The carrots is just to make the dish look pretty so you don’t need a lot. Demo is here.

Combine with vinegar mixture and marinate for a day.
