Sake Martini

Many, many years ago my boss & her husband threw a dinner party and served sake martinis. I can remember the aroma of the cucumber slice, perched on the side of the glass, made all the difference. I have always wanted to find a recipe and think I have. Compliments of Epicurious.com. Posting for safe keeping.
