Watermelon, Shiso, Plum, and Salt

Cut 1 small seedless watermelon (about 4 lb.) in half and scoop out the seeds if needed. Cut in half again, and thinly slice.

Shingle the watermelon on a platter. Thinly slice 3 black plums and snuggle them into the watermelon.

Roll 5 shiso leaves up like a little cigar and run the blade of your very sharp knife over them to slice them extremely thinly. Do this with the remaining shiso leaves. Sprinkle your chiffonade over the watermelon and plums. Sprinkle with a generous amount of flaky salt and a sprinkle of togarashi, if using.
