I like green tea. I like cucumbers. I associate both with a crisp, clean flavor. But, this combination didn't do that for me. I did like the toasted sesame and cucumber combo, but the marinade had more of a bitter or sour edge that really did taste of watermelon rind (as a previous reviewer suggested). I wanted to like this, but just couldn't decide how to improve it for my taste buds. I will take the toasted sesame seed idea and try it with other cucumber combinations, though.

This was an interesting dish. I would like to experiment with other tea flavors to see if the taste changes. I marinated the cucumbers overnight. In the words of my 12-year old son, "It tastes like watermelon rind." Not sure if it was the green tea or the length of time in the marinade that slightly "pickled" the cucumbers.
As is, we didn't care for it much, but I do think there should be further experimentation to see if the taste improves.
