Steps:
- Bring the sugar and 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the mint, pressing with a wooden spoon to submerge. Let cool completely, then remove the mint with a slotted spoon and discard.
- Combine the mint syrup, honeydew and lime juice in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a 7-by-11-inch or 8-inch square metal baking dish.

Continue freezing, scraping every 30 minutes or so, until all of the granita has been scraped into flakes, 3 to 4 hours. Spoon into chilled bowls and top with mint leaves.

HONEY-DEW AND SAKE GRANITA
Steps:
- To make the granita:
- In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 3-1/2 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. In a blender purée the ginger with the syrup, the wine, and the food coloring, chill the mixture until is cold, and stir it. Transfer the mixture to 2 metal ice-cube trays without the dividers or to a shallow metal pan and freeze it, stirring and crushing the lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, for 2 to 3 hours, or until it is firm but not frozen solid. The granita may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and frozen. Scrape the granita with a fork to lighten the texture.
- On each of 4 plates arrange 2 of the honeydew slices and top 1 of the slices on each plate with a scoop of the honeydew and sake granita. Top the other slices with a scoop of the pickled ginger and plum-wine granita.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, simmer sugar and 1 3/4 cups water until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Stir in wasabi and let cool.
- In a food processor, puree melon. Measure 2 1/4 cups; discard remainder. Process melon and ginger until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in cooled sugar syrup.
- Pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass or metal baking dish. Freeze until ice crystals form around the edge, about 45 minutes. Using a fork, gently stir crystals into middle of dish, breaking up clumps. Repeat often until totally set and granular, freezing about 30 minutes each time; this will take about 2 hours.
- Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on and reserving shells. In a saucepan, bring shells, cilantro, sake, 1 cup water, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming scum from surface, until flavorful, about 30 minutes. Pour through a cheesecloth-lined strainer into a skillet, pressing solids to extract liquid. Over high heat, bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat so liquid simmers. Poach shrimp, adjusting heat to maintain a bare simmer, until pink and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer shrimp to a small baking dish. Cover with cooking liquid, let cool, and chill.
- Sprinkle cucumber and pickled ginger over granita and fold in using a fork. Spoon into glasses; sprinkle with shiso. Place shrimp over glasses and serve immediately.
