Hotate is a traditional salad originating from Japan. The salad is usually made with a combination of daikon, scallops, sake, soy sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chives. The daikon is sliced into matchsticks and seasoned with salt, marinated, then drained.

The scallops are covered with sake, steamed until cooked through, and then broken into smaller pieces. The daikon, soy sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chives are mixed with the scallops and the reserved juices before the salad is seasoned with pepper and served.
