‘Arigato apropos after final act

From page 23
the chronically nosy journalist
with the aforementioned assign-
ment, it also provides the charged
atmosphere of arrival and depar-
ture found in most eateries adja-
- cent to travel terminals.
” The terminal here, of course, is
“the B.C. Ferry Corp.’s.
" 'Arigato‘s atmosphere, while
maintaining the diffidence and
- precision of most good Japanese
”. pestaurants, is regularly punctuated
- “by the unpredictable intrusion of
etravellin’ folk.
2A Seat by the restaurant's en-
.trance will provide steady human
entertainment along with patrons’
': wooden platters of brilliantly col-
. -ored seafood.

“You might, for example, wish to
‘chase the chill sea breezes from
your bones with a steaming Miso
“soup, that simple but invigorating:

savory Japanese bean paste broth, .

“which is served at Arigato with .
- chopped green onions and small
cubes of tofu. /

The first act of your accompany-
ing multi-act In Transit human
drama might feature a trio of trav-
elling females bearing rucksacks
and seeking “the washroom,
please.’

Followed, perhaps, with
Assorted Sashimi and its bold
marine colors and enticing lineup
of elegantly sliced sake (salmon),
maguro (tuna), tako (octopus),
(mirugai) geoduck, ika (squid), tai
(red snapper) and hirame (halibut).
* In Transit’s second act opens

- with a pair of denim-clad ruffians

reeling from the effects of swapp-
ing too many lies over too many
glasses of ale.

“Two hot dogs... to go,” they
order, slapping the front-desk ..
countertop..

They are directed elsewhere.’

Over an excellent B.C. Roll, with ”
‘its sticky Japanese rice and crackl-
ing salmon skin, and an Arigota
.. Roll, with its combination of
* prawn tempura, cucunvber and.

watercress, you might enjoy Act 3,

in which a wayward university
student wearing sandals and Save
Clayoquot Sound T-shirt
beseeches the restaurant’s owner
for bus change.

By Act 4, you are savoring a
Temaki-sushi Hot Dynamite
seaweed cone stuffed with sticky
rice, lettuce, prawn tempura, cu-
cumber and Japanese hot sauce.

The scene opens with a mid-
dle-aged woman clad in curling
jacket and polyester jogging pants
demanding ‘two coffees to go."’

it closes with the two ale-tuelled
ruffians tottering by on the side-
walk chewing upon hot dogs and
uttering an occasional rebel yell.

A steaming ceramic vessel of
saki is recommended accom-
paniment for all of the above.

As is a hearty round of applause
for the hard-working'and patient
Arigato staff and the carefully’ .
prepared and fastidiously fresh
food produced by the restaurant's

. Sushi chefs and tempura kitchen.

2, Arigato indeed :
