Anyone have a copycat recipe for this? Tasted so good. I detected sesame oil, savoury seaweed, toasted sesame seeds and perhaps fish flakes of a kind? Would love to recreate this at home during summer🙏🏽

I’d try cutting English or Persian cucumber then letting it sit in some salt for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze out the remaining liquid.
If it tastes vinegary, boil some vinegar and salt (like 1/4 cup to 1TBS of sugar) and stir until the salt dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool 5 mins.
Put in the cukes and about 1TBS of what looks like hijiki. Maybe like 1/2 tsp of soy sauce?
To serve, toast sesame and dress with the sesame oil, seeds and katsuobushi.

I’d try any of the cucumber salad recipes from RecipeTinEats. This one published by Nagi in an Australian newspaper food section looks like a pretty good copy of what you’ve described: https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/recipes/recipetin-eats-x-good-food-japanese-cucumber-seaweed-salad-20211025-h1zdrm.html
