2. Place the radish juice in a small bowl. Add the oysters and let them soak for about 30 seconds, to rinse. Remove the oysters from the radish juice and set aside. Discard the juice (Fig. a).

3. Pour the tempura powder onto your work surface. Roll the oysters in the tempura powder so that they are coated on all sides; set aside.

4. Transfer the tempura powder that’s left on your work surface to a mixing bowl and add an equal amount of very cold water. Mix lightly but not too much the batter should be lumpy.

5. Dip the coated oysters in the tempura batter and then place them gently in the hot oil. Deep-fry for about 3 minutes, until crispy.

8. Slice the nori into 4 pieces, each measuring 1 x 6 inches.

9. Hold about 2 tablespoons of rice in your hand and gently squeeze it into a rectangular shape with rounded corners.

10. Press the thin end of 1 piece of nori onto the side of the rice and wrap it around the rice, keeping the bottom of the rice and the nori aligned. Gently press the nori around the rice so that the bottom of the nori wraps completely around the rice. The top of the nori should extend above the rice this will hold the loose toppings.

11. Place a few pieces of cucumber on top of the rice and then top with the oyster mixture. Repeat to make the rest of the sushi. Serve with wasabi, gari and soy sauce.
