Great day

We had an awesome time. We saw Dolphins almost immediately once on the water. I swear I had Dolphins swim under me and to see the little babies was great too. We saw turtles as well which is always great. The crew were great and informative. An all round excellent day and looking forward to the photos from Lexi.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

The dolphin's name is "Keikai Maru." イルカの名前は『ケーカイマル』

Reviewed by: めめまま

This time, my husband, daughter (a third grader), and I participated in the Dolphin Encounter. It seemed that about half of the participants were Japanese. Because of this, there was an explanation provided in advance by a Japanese person, and the trainer explained things in broken Japanese. So, we didn't have to worry about the language.

Since the observation area was quite far away, we couldn't take many photos or videos. In the end, we each purchased a commemorative photo for $18.

The Sea Life Park itself is not very large, and if you imagine it like an aquarium in Japan, you might be a bit disappointed. The main attraction is interacting with the dolphins, and the rest is just a little sightseeing to pass the time, so I don't think it's a good idea to plan to stay in the park all day.

While I have some dissatisfaction regarding the scale of Sea Life Park (and the admission fee), the interaction with the dolphins became a wonderful memory for my daughter.

今回は、主人と娘（小学3年生）がドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
割合的には日本人が5割位でしょうか… その為事前に日本人の方から説明があり、トレーナーさんは片言の日本語で説明してくれたそうです。 なので言葉の心配はありませんでした。

見学はかなり離れたところからだったので写真やビデオはあまり撮れませんでした。
結局記念に1枚18ドルの写真をそれぞれに購入しました。

シーライフパーク自体はあまり大きくなくて日本の水族館をイメージすると拍子抜けします。 メインはイルカとの触れ合いであとは時間潰しにちょろっと見学程度で、一日中パークにいるスケジュールにはしない方がいいと思います。

シーライフパークの規模（入場料）に対する不満はありますが、イルカとの触れ合いは娘にとって素敵な思い出になりました。

I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

Notes on transportation services. 送迎についての注意

Reviewed by: 裕のママ

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。

知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。

Children who cannot snorkel cannot participate. シュノーケルできない子供は無理

Reviewed by: ウミガメが見たかった！

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.

太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。

Observing sharks attracted to a mysterious can from the boat. 謎の缶(？)に食いつくサメを船上から見学

Reviewed by: KAWAMAX

We participated as a family of five, with two children and an infant. My wife and the infant did not go into the cage but observed from the boat plan. You can see the sharks well even from the boat. When the captain threw a mysterious can with a rope into the sea at the shark point, the sharks were attracted to it and gathered around. We were also allowed to throw in the can, so my wife and the kids got to do it several times.

As I mentioned in another review, the cage plan can be quite shaky, so I think it's better for those who get seasick to choose the boat plan and observe from the deck.

夫婦＋子供2人＋乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

I met the sharks!!!

Reviewed by: Mahalo

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.

A good experience. いい経験

Reviewed by: KAWAMAX

We participated as a family of five: two adults and three children, including an infant. My wife and the infant stayed on the boat to watch while the rest of us went into the sea. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. We participated on July 26.

It took about 20 minutes by car from Aulani to the port.

There were no changing rooms at the port, just a dirty public restroom. I was glad we wore our swimsuits beforehand.

There were about 30 participants, all Japanese. The staff included a Japanese host, while the others were locals. The boat felt quite old.

Once we left the port and headed out to sea, we started to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which really got us excited.

The boat continued to the point where the dolphins were. I learned that the way to see the dolphins was to first spot them from the boat, then maneuver the boat ahead of where the dolphins were swimming. When the captain shouted "GO! GO! GO!", everyone quickly jumped into the sea to see the dolphins swimming.

While I was okay with it, my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter could only swim about 10 meters, so jumping into the sea from the boat was quite scary for them. I had to more or less push them in, and honestly, it seemed very frightening for them.

Additionally, during our first encounter with the dolphins, my daughter needed to use the restroom, which caused us to miss the timing to jump in. It’s better to take care of that beforehand.

Fortunately, we were able to jump in during the second dolphin encounter and saw dolphins swimming underwater, but it seemed that some other participants missed out.

After that, we had cheeseburgers on the boat for a break and headed to the sea turtle encounter point. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles, but we had a lot of fun kayaking together with the kids.

Finally, we all danced a Hawaiian dance on the boat before returning to the port.

It was quite hard both mentally and physically, but we were able to see dolphins, and the kids said they had a great time. I think it was a wonderful experience. At the end, the kids received small dolphin plush toys as gifts, and they were really happy about that.

夫婦＋子供2人＋乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
妻と乳児は海には入らず船の上で見学。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/26。

アウラニから港までは車で20分程度でした。

港には更衣室等はなく、汚い公衆トイレがあるだけ。事前に水着を着用しておいてよかったです。

参加者は30名くらいで全員日本人でした。スタッフは司会進行(？)の方が日本人で、他は現地の方。船はわりと古い感じ。

港を出て沖に出ると、野生のイルカやウミガメがちらほら見えてきて、気分が盛り上がってきます。

そのまま船は進んでイルカがいるポイントへ。

その時知りましたが、イルカを見る方法というのは、
　まず船の上からイルカを目視で見つけて、
　イルカが泳ぐ先へ船で先回りし、
　船長が「GO!GO!GO!」と叫んだら
　みんなで大急ぎで海に飛び込み、
　イルカが泳ぐ姿を見る、
というものでした。

自分はいいとして、9歳の息子と7歳の娘はまだ10mくらいしか泳げないので、船の上から海に飛び込む、というのはかなり怖かったと思います。半分放り込むような形で飛び込ませたのですが、正直かなり怖かったみたいです。

あと娘が1回目のイルカ遭遇時、大きい方を催してトイレに行き、そのせいで飛び込むタイミングを逸してしまいました。トイレは事前に済ませておいたほうがいいです。

幸い我々は2回目のイルカ遭遇時に飛び込んで、海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができましたが、他の参加者さんは見られなかった人もいたようです。

その後船上でチーズバーガーを食べて休憩し、ウミガメ遭遇ポイントへ。
残念ながらウミガメはいませんでしたが、子供たちと一緒にダブルカヤックでたのしくあそばせてもらいました。

最後に船上でみんなでハワイアンダンスを踊って港に戻りました。

精神的にも肉体的にもけっこうハードでしたが、イルカに会うことができて、子供たちはすごく楽しかったと言ってました。いい経験になったと思います。
最後に子供たちへのプレゼントで小さいイルカのぬいぐるみをもらってましたが、それもすごく喜んでました。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter, while my wife and baby watched from the boat. All the other participants were Americans except for our group.

After about 15 to 20 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we arrived at the shark cage. I think we had come quite far out to sea.

Finally, we entered the cage to meet the sharks, but the waves were so strong that it was difficult to observe calmly.

My son and daughter were overwhelmed by the waves and quickly retired back to the boat, leaving me to see the sharks alone.

I was able to see the sharks up close, but due to the waves, I bumped my head against the cage and collided with others, which was quite tough.

On the way back, both I and the other participants didn't seem very energetic, including myself.

It might be better if the cage were a bit larger or if there were fewer participants at a time, but I think those who are prone to seasickness should carefully consider participating.

9歳の息子と7歳の娘、37歳の自分の3人で参加。妻と赤ん坊は船の上から見学しました。

船に揺られること15〜20分でサメケージに到着。けっこう沖の方まで来てたと思います。

いよいよケージに入ってサメとご対面しますが、サメよりも波がすごくて、落ち着いて観察するのがむずかしかったです。

息子と娘は波にやられて早々にリタイアして船に戻り、自分ひとりでサメを見ました。

いちおうサメは間近で見られましたが、波のせいでケージに頭をぶつけたり、他の人ともぶつかったり、かなりしんどかったです。

帰りの船では自分も含め、他の参加者もあまり元気がなかったですｗ

もう少しケージを広くするか、一回の参加者を少なくするかすれば多少マシになるかもしれませんが、酔いやすい人は参加は慎重に検討したほうがいいと思います。

Reviewed by: ゴマちゃん

The tour operator only communicated in English, which made it difficult for me during the confirmation call. On the day of the tour, we departed from the pier in Kona, which was convenient since it was close to where I was staying. The glass-bottom boat was quite stable and comfortable, but there wasn't much variation in the fish or underwater scenery, so I honestly got a bit bored along the way. The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, which was nice.

催行先が英語のみの対応なので、確認電話で苦労しました。当日はコナの桟橋からの出発でしたので、滞在先からすぐの場所でラクでした。グラスボートはあまり揺れがなく快適でしたが、あまり魚や海中の景色に変化が乏しかったので、正直途中で飽きてしまいました。スタッフの人はフレンドリーにいろいろ話しかけてくれて良かったです。

Good time was had by all. If you don't have good sea legs, the captain may allow you to snorkel around the boat weather permitting. Be prepared to wait for others to have their turn, but you can see the fish whilst waiting as they are used to come up for feeding. The team were friendly and well organised (expect to tip at the end), good activity, although it doesn't top scuba diving.

Reviewed by: Ina

I got stuck in an unbelievable traffic jam on the way, spending several hours on the bus. However! The hospitality of our guide, who was determined to entertain us, was amazing!! They talked non-stop, and all their stories were incredibly interesting!! Normally, traffic jams are just exhausting, but I didn't get bored at all; instead, it turned into a great time where I could hear various stories.

That said, when I looked out at the sea from the long bus ride, I happened to see a whale spouting! What a lucky surprise!

On the boat, there was a wild singer who usually performs at luxury hotels, and a cute lady, around elementary school age, who was there just for this spring break, showing us adorable hula dances (her mother is a hula dancer, by the way!). It was a lot of fun! For lunch, the lady even drew a face with ketchup on my hamburger^^

Also, from what I could see, there was a handsome guy on board who seemed to be the best-looking in Hawaii, and a mermaid female photographer was accompanying us. The staff was so diverse, and I really enjoyed it!!

The highlight was the dolphin-calling "Mamma"! There's a superstition that if she boards, you'll get to see dolphins, and sure enough, within just 10 minutes of departure, we hit a pod of dolphins!! We quickly changed and jumped into the sea! The friendly group of dolphins played with the dead branches on the ocean floor, showing us their antics over and over again.

The dolphins we encountered were a type called spinner dolphins, which aren't found in Japan, and they even did spin jumps right in front of us! I was so moved by their acrobatics, it was like a dolphin show! I will never forget that sight, and I remember it every time I visit an aquarium!

When I looked up, I saw many dorsal fins jumping, and when I looked down into the water, I could hear the playful sounds of the dolphins. It was the best experience!

Even after we got out of the water, a pod of dozens of dolphins swam around the boat continuously.

It was such a great tour that I recommended it to my friends after returning home^^

Thank you so much, guide Su-san! I will definitely rely on you again when I go back to Hawaii✨

I saw a whale!! クジラいましたー！！

Reviewed by: Ina

It's a very large and impressive ship! After departing, we enjoyed exploring the interior and lounging on the rooftop summer beds. Once things settled down, we were able to see two whales!! It was a bit disappointing that they were a little far away (we couldn't get too close due to regulations), but from then on, we cruised while watching the whales spouting water. Gradually, the initial excitement faded, and it felt less special. Looking back, I realize how luxurious it was.

Additionally, you can enjoy views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea, making it a simple yet enjoyable cruise. When we boarded, there was smoke billowing from a volcano behind Diamond Head, and fighter jets were flying low and loud, which felt a bit like a Disneyland attraction (laughs).

The whales were too far away for good photos.

Also, the interior of the ship clearly had separate floors for Japanese and foreign guests (possibly due to the language of the announcements), but we were directed to the foreign guest floor. Everything was announced in English, but the foreign guest floor was less crowded and had a nice international travel vibe, which I really enjoyed!

戦闘機が低く爆音でたくさん飛んでいたので、
なんだかディズニーランドのアトラクションのようなでした（笑）

クジラはとにかく遠目なのでよい写真は撮れません。

また、船内は日本人と外国人で明確にフロアが分かれている(アナウンス言語の問題かもしれません)のですが、
私たちは外国人フロアの案内でした。
本当に全て英語アナウンスですが、
外国人フロアの方が空いていましたし海外旅行感があって、
私はとっても楽しめました！

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

My 3-year-old daughter participated with her grandparents. 3歳娘、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんと参加

Reviewed by: かっちん

I usually spend my time relaxing by the hotel pool, but this time I participated in a tour with my child for the first time. Since my daughter is three years old, we chose this tour that doesn't require swimsuits. Since we were going anyway, both parents and grandparents joined in to touch the dolphins. Having a Japanese interpreter made it easy to enjoy without worries.

We got to interact with the dolphins, and during the rest of the time, we watched a show. There was also a slide in one corner, so we were able to spend the whole time without getting bored. For lunch, we made bento and brought a blanket to eat on the grass. (Although there weren't many others doing the same...)

いつもはホテルのプールでのんびり過ごしていましたが、初めて子連れでツアーに参加しました。
娘が3歳なので、水着不要のこのツアーを選択。どうせならと、パパママ、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんも全員ツアーに参加してイルカを触りました。日本語通訳が付き添ってくれるので、安心して楽しめました。
イルカに触れ合え、その他の時間はショーを見ました。
一角に滑り台もあるので、飽きずに時間いっぱい過ごせました。
お昼は、お弁当を作ってシート持参で芝生で食べました。(他にそうしている人はいませんでしたが…。)

First snorkeling experience 初のシュノーケル

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea.

I was able to see dolphins, but I couldn't swim with them.

I also encountered sea turtles and was happy to see them swimming.
It ended in the blink of an eye!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Holokai Catamaran Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail

Reviewed by: Judy Z

We had a fantastic time...beautiful scenery and great guides (Jake and McCuddy (spelling?)). Swam with the fish and a bunch of turtles and got great pics. Too bad my husband and I got sick after the snorkeling adventure. It had nothing to do with them, I guess we're just not cut out for boating, but they guides were great and took it all in stride. We did our best to still enjoy the ride back. Thanks for a great morning!

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

If you're a newbie, don't worry, it's easy!!

Reviewed by: JLondon

Can I give 10 stars? If you're a newbie, don't worry, it's easy!!! I've never done snorkeling before and my wife is afraid of water...HELLO!!! We're giving this place 5 stars!!! That should tell you that this is the go-to place on Maui for snorkeling. We were in line for registration and a couple before us who have done snorkeling many times before were ranting and raving about the exceptional amenities on this adventure. It's a class-act all the way, from start to finish. Food, alcohol, corrective lens goggles, floatation devices...the list goes on and on. I can't put into words the level of excellence that this company delivers from start to finish. EVERY element is addressed and for two newbies who never did this kind of thing and are totally out of our comfort zone, this should give you a clue as to the totality of excellence that this company delivers.

Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Scenic Cruise from Waikoloa by Ocean Sports | Kids 0-5 Ride for Free

Loved It

Reviewed by: Linda

We had a great time on the glass bottom boat. Only regret I wish we could have stayed all day looking underwater at the coral and the fish. Great crew and knew a lot about the different fish we were seeing. My grand children loved it. Good adventure for young and old. Relaxing and beautiful.

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

I was thrilled to see the dolphins! イルカに感激！

Reviewed by: さみー

I participated at the beginning of July! The sea was clear that day, and I was overwhelmed with joy as I encountered dolphins multiple times! The Hawaiian staff were friendly, and I had a great time.

However, one thing I was dissatisfied with was the photos. There was a dedicated photographer on the boat who took most of the pictures (since we had to store valuables below deck to avoid getting them wet). Because of that, we didn't take any photos ourselves, thinking we could purchase them later. However, just before the tour ended... all the photos were bundled together for a total of $65! What?! That's way too expensive!!! It's almost half the cost of the tour. Most of the photos were probably unnecessary, and I couldn't justify spending that much (although quite a few people did buy them). It felt like a rip-off, and that was really disappointing since I ended up with almost no photos. If it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.

7月頭に参加しました！
海がその日は澄んでいて、しかもイルカにも何度も巡り会えて感無量でした！ハワイアンのスタッフの方も気さくで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

ただ、一つ不満だったのが写真です。船の上では専属のカメラマンがいて、ほとんどの写真をカメラマンが収めてくれます(船の上では濡れるといけないのでデッキの下に貴重品等はしまいます)。そのため、自分たちで全然写真を撮っていなかったし、
あとで購入できるから…とばかり思っていました。しかし、ツアー終了間際…写真は全てセットになっていて全部で65ドル、
、！？？高すぎ！！！ツアー代金の半額近いですよね。きっと不要な写真がほとんどなのに、そんな金額掛けられませんでした(結構買ってる方いらっしゃいましたが)。ぼったくり感満載で、それだけが残念でした、手元に残った写真ほぼなしですからね。それさえなければ星５個でした。

モロキニ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜英語ガイド／食事・アルコール2杯付き＞

Outstanding clarity. 抜群の透明度

Reviewed by: takuya

First of all, Molokini Island had excellent water clarity. There are various comments about the lack of fish, but there were times when schools of fish came up to the surface, so I think it depends on the timing. While it’s true that there were more species around the Black Rock area, if you look closely, you can still find over ten species quite easily.

However, since the water is a bit deep, you might be at a slight distance from the fish at the bottom. That said, if you go closer to the shore, the water gets shallower, and because the clarity is high, you can see the bottom well, which is enjoyable in its own way.

I experienced snuba, but on this tour, there wasn’t time for regular snorkeling at Molokini if you were doing snuba, so those who want to snorkel at Molokini should keep this in mind.

After Molokini, we went to Turtle Town, where there were relatively fewer fish, but we were able to see turtles. It seems that Turtle Town can have strong currents on some days, making it inaccessible.

The tour itself mainly had foreign guests. The captain was a Japanese person who spoke English, but this was coincidental, and I think it changes from day to day (also, everything is primarily conducted in English). If you have no understanding of English at all, it might be a bit challenging, but if you understand a little, I think it’s not a problem at all. Additionally, the crew was very friendly, and I was satisfied with the food included.

まず、モロキニ島は透明度抜群でした。魚が少ないとか色々なコメントもありますが、水面に魚群が上がってくることもあり、タイミング次第かと思います。種類等は確かにブラックロック周辺などの方が沢山みられましたが、よく探せばそれでも10種以上はすぐ見つかるかと思います。
ただ、少し水深があるので、底の方の魚には若干距離があるかもしれません。とはいえ、岸辺に行けば水深は浅くなりますし、そもそも透明度が高いので底の方もよく見えてそれはそれで楽しいです。
当方はスヌーバを体験したのですが、今回のツアーでは、モロキニでスヌーバを行う場合は通常のスノーケリングをモロキニで行う時間はありませんでしたので、モロキニでスノーケリングをしたいと考えている人はご留意下さい。
モロキニの後にタートルタウンにいきましたが、こちらは比較的魚は少ないものの、カメには会うことができました。タートルタウンは日によっては流れが強く、行けない場合もあるようです。
ツアー自体は、外国のお客さんがメインでした。船長は英語を喋る日本の方でしたが、これはたまたまで、日によって変わると思います（また、基本は英語だけで全て行われています）。英語が全くダメな方は若干ハードルが高いかもしれませんが、多少わかるのであれば全然問題はないと思います。また、クルーは大変親切でしたし、ご飯も含め満足しています。
