3

Boil water in a pot, adding a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of sake. Add the shrimp (with shells) and boil for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Once cooked, drain immediately.

4

Squeeze excess moisture from the cucumber. Peel the shrimp shells.

5

On a plate, arrange the cucumber, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes, then drizzle with the egg yolk vinegar sauce.
