Unable to view the byte formatted value from redis-cli

Question

My requirement is that in redis db, keys should be stored as strings and values as byte array. And I am able to achieve the same in java using lettuce's RedisCodec. But when I view the value through reds-cli it appears to be in original string itself rather than the byte format. Following is the simple code I am trying with.

RedisURI redisURI = RedisURI.builder().withHost("localhost")
        .withPort(6379)
        .build();

RedisClient redisClient = RedisClient.create(redisURI);
RedisCommands<String, byte[]> redisCommands = redisClient.connect(RedisCodec.of(new StringCodec(), new ByteArrayCodec())).sync();

redisCommands.set("key", "value".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
System.out.println(redisCommands.get("key"));

Console O/p : [B@3bd7f8dc

redis-cli o/p:

127.0.0.1:6379> get key

"value"

I am using lettuce as redis client. I am unable to understand why the value I obtained from redis-cli is in string itself rather than the byte format.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
