Ah, the chocolate covered macadamia nuts! The staple of all tourist chocolate in Hawaii! I always see them in Waikiki!
I love Nemu's expression in panel 4!

Anna, the thing Kana is holding in panel 2 is probaly a spam musubi molder. I have one of those. Of course, you can't have spam musubi without spam!
