I have a kyuri... I have a stick...
胡瓜浅漬け！ (kyuri asa-zuke)
Raw snack typically found in summer matsuri. Sometimes flavored with miso or soy sauce.

It's actually not as raw as I thought... the cucumber is lightly picked with salt, rice vinegar and kombu. Hardly noticeable though.

Eureka! I was able to reproduce 胡瓜浅漬け (kyuri asa-zuke) = lightly pickled cucumber!
I didn't have any kombu, so I pickled using only rice vinegar and salt. I topped it with miso paste and stab it with a chopstick. The resulting snack is just like I remember eating at summer matsuri: salty, sour and umami with just the right amount of crunchiness 😋
