先日、地元の方に、お食事に連れて行っていただきました。 ランチタイムに向かったのは、回転寿司レストラン’元気寿司’、そして、デザートは、’dave’s’というアイスクリーム屋さんでいただきした。:) お寿司は、ハワイ、アメリカならではのメニューがたくさんありました。その中でも、私は、’Volcano Roll’という、アヒポキとアボカドが両方楽しめるお寿司が気に入りました。:) アイスクリーム屋さんでは、ハワイのコナコーヒーを楽しむため、’KONA MOCHA’をオーダーしました。:) ちなみに、ここのアイスは、全てmade in Hawaiiだとのことでした。 機会があれば、またぜひ行きたいと思います。
