Peel cucmbers, if waxed. Otherwise score skins with a fork. Cut in half, remove seeds, and cut into julienne strips. Slice celery and radishes diagonally. Place cucmber, celery, and radishes in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to mix and let stand 2 hours. Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat, shaking frequently, until golden. Cool. Squeeze the water out of the vegetables, a handful at a time, and place them in a colander. Rinse with cold water and squeeze out extra water. Place in a serving bowl. Add lemon juice and soy sauce.
