Cutting cucumber into different shapes can be called an art form in Japan.
This master shows how to prepare the so-called “morokyu” or cucumber with miso paste.
What he first does is to take away any part that does not seem fresh

To make different shapes
While using the whole cucumber
Even its skin
So that one can taste the freshness of a cucumber in all possible forms
Well, of course, with added miso paste
