Add 2 tablespoons of salt (not listed) in the large pot of boiling water, and cook the pasta until al dente.
3

Put the olive oil and garlic in a frying pan, heat over low heat until fragrant, and add the sauce ingredients.
4

Add the cooked pasta, takuan, cucumber and shiso leaves to the frying pan from Step 3, and mix altogether over low heat.
5

Transfer the pasta and sauce to serving plates. Sprinkle with sesame oil and sesame seeds, and squeeze over some lemon juice to finish. Done.
