    1. Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers. Put them in a salad bowl. Add the salt, mint leaves, 2 tbsp mirin (rice wine), and the rice vinegar. Toss, taste, and add more vinegar, wine, or salt as needed. 2. Take your cleaned squid (about 500 g of squid with tentacles total) and separate the tentacles from the bodies. Cut the bodies into rings and pull the tentacles apart into a few pieces. Pat the squid dry with a paper towel. 3. In a large, roomy skillet, toast the almonds for 1 minute, then tip them onto a plate to cool. 4. Heat the oil in the skillet and add the squid rings. Fry for 1 minute. Add the tentacles, salt, and pepper and cook everything together for 2 minutes—it's done once the squid turns opaque. Let it cool slightly. 5. Add 1/2 tbsp mirin and the umeboshi paste to the squid and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning. 6. Pile the squid over the cucumbers, scatter with the sliced almonds, and serve. Enjoy!
