Steps
1. Slice the sweet persimmon and cucumber slightly thick to match the length of the bread.
2. Add the mustard sauce and mayonnaise and mix them together.
3. Spread the sauce over the inner side of the sliced bread.
Spreading a thin layer of butter before applying the sauce helps keep moisture from the ingredients
from making the bread soggy.
If you are not eating them right away and making them ahead for something like a lunchbox,
take the smart step of spreading butter first so you can enjoy sandwiches with soft, fresh bread.
4. Neatly layer the ham, sweet persimmon, cheese, and cucumber, then cover with sliced bread.
Wrap the sandwiches in plastic wrap or a dry kitchen towel and set a plate on top so the fillings adhere well, then slice;
this keeps their shape from falling apart as you cut them.
Cut them into bite-sized pieces, either into 4 or 6.
