Macrobiotic: "Fake" Cucumber Sushi Rolls

My friend made these for me once and I wanted to try making a macrobiotic version.

Place the umeboshi on top of the side of the cucumber with the skin. If the umeboshi comes into contact with the moist cucumber flesh, it will become too wet. Instead of cucumber you can fill these rolls with Japanese yams, cooked dried shiitake mushrooms, carrots boiled in salt water, tamagoyaki, etc. Whatever you want! Recipe by Ruruko
