a multi-billion dollar program military equipment. goes right here in the russian capital this weeks moscow out it's coming up next. against course and stroganoff i personally think that sushi is now one of the most popular dishes in the us in cups all the months away but apart from so much also another fostered out that's the same there isn't a restaurant in this city that doesn't produce cuisine so join me on this week's moscow hours as we take a look at the sushi radia is taking over the russian capital. came to russia in the

one nine hundred ninety s. difficult words pronounce it fast most muscovites are fascinated by the small rolls of rice and we'll fish today there are hundreds of sushi bars here and with russians becoming more knowledgeable about other cuisines that truly would lower prices it seems sushi is available to the southern us from using unique of the cultural uniquely japanese venue in moscow it was opened in april two thousand and eight and became one of the most popular japanese restaurants in moscow sushi these are very popular dish in moscow i think because of japanese cuisine it's a very healthy cuisine this is the reason was that so it also offers various sushi masa classes find out how the classic california and philadelphia bowls came to russia from japan but from the us also in a city that is nowhere near the coast you might worry that anything regarding fish

will not be fresh began a chef here tells us that the fish is flown in the same morning a shock frozen a technology that commits preservation. such fine dining restaurants pride themselves on strict control over. the quality insists they can use the best ingredients. as you can see here sushi truly is an artful wow take a look at this and this sushi plaza cost a staggering three batches rubles was around one hundred dollars so i'm sure it tastes as good as it looks from here it's true. without any change of style but also if you go. wow. that is amazing but one of the head chefs i know in moscow

once told me that they actually said that's a sushi here in moscow and so here i think that he rides. moving on to this week's entertainment news and the russian film star in the famous hollywood actress mila you which has recently for me to muster titles recruit tassie which translates as flourishes is romantic comedy about a groom being late for his wedding but what's unusual about this movie is that milosevic speaks russian to us have called at the red carpet event the actress was seen giving interviews in english and in russian saying she's very proud of however it's. helen zille feels the same way when the film producer timor called me and offered to take part in the movie i was very afraid to speak russian and three said that i couldn't do it but then she called me again and said look it's a comedy take only ten days and it's going to be very easy for you to just do it i

agreed but when i saw the amount of scripts for my course in russian i was terrified. given smoking's and weeks into this and i knew why exhibition projects named the best of russia. even says now to mr g.s. displaying we through to crawford the national contest aiming to fix all aspects of life in the country through official this lands maybe twenty six thousand pictures have been submitted to the contest the jury has chosen three hundred and sixty five of the best looks should be on display until the twentieth of march. i think i could see again so sushi mania in moscow it was all about how much i think it's driven by the women. and obviously it's it's considered healthy it's considered law actually interact with the role of diet you could constantly on a diet came some lean i keep those figures nice and trim and you know they i think

that perceive it to be more healthier than you know maybe grilled me to rule fish. and what we have in front of the sale we've got the truth which is. i mean i thin lee slice the she me form and we've got so punctual of oil. you know a little bit of a cough cough souls' this is a hand roll and you know it's with the nori filled with rice and you can basically chop them with whatever you like but as sushi ice cream guy ice cream kind of sushi fleishman to unlock it it's nice i much prefer to eat it by the form of a roll down motto here is and you've known me long enough it's all about the quality of the products we search the best we bring the best in we buy the best you know from all around the world with resentment from the struggle of the old japan over the tuna from japan the pride comes from cannot believe we buy the best over you know you pay for it when you come here but it's the best quality and just think it's strange that you can get sushi and it's highly and restaurants you can get it

anywhere everywhere look you know that's a very specific ideas to the russian market and i think at the end of the day you know to get business into the russian market you need to sort of offer as much as people want what people warrant and into the day for. but sushi and i want to eat spaghetti after with the fates i was high so i've been here monday moscow yeah let me see yeah i'm allowed strike absolutely afraid for my salon. moving on if you fancy a sushi lunch controlled by the hole in your pocket there are also democratic chains of sushi restaurants the pasha opens in two thousand and five another company buys dozens of restaurants in muskrat's occulus but they also offer a so-called double menu one hospital sushi includes traditional japanese food while the on a cold antique sushi features popular yorkie and i'm brushing dishes. there

are also many sushi restaurants in moscow which going against traditional japanese and curious located in the popular tourist area hot global sushi is decorated with see through furniture at the same time funky d.j.'s play the sets in bright neon lights. is a bit more strength this is an immersion capsule came in with grace and there's a fee choice of places to choose from our idea was to strike the most efficient things with the unusual interior design a hundred fashion the colors of the lighting change every fifteen minutes we could find a special atmosphere trio whole thing as a tough. double check that you'll feel sheepish is fresh there are many restaurants with open kitchens the experts make you all to rights in front of you in food she feels like you can witness the process and the food is placed in the case of various colors which indicates the price introduced style just pick your freshly made dish from

the conveyor belt and enjoy. the funny there are several connery schools in of russian capital for various the sushi making classes this are for languages. and you can meet the ip masses for example because in japanese cuisine is suitable for both the munchies and freshness to upgrade the skills and knowledge there are from five to ten people in the group and one lesson last about six hours. so you see she is all the rage they must carry why health crazy muscovites cost far less to influence the city's reinvention whatever the reason these people call must go home seems this little fashion statement is here to stay. a moving along to our next location it's right for a real told larry question of sushi that much when i try and present yourself.

the popularity of eating sushi in his restaurants did drop during the recent economic crisis but that didn't hold a new love with the secrecy of home sushi exploded in the next thing was that many muscovites started to create it at home yeah because you have to you're going to get kids who are yourself in ten years and over this period of time it has always been popular to the customers who provide good customer service you can get advice from cooking from our shop assistants and of course all products in the shop are fresh and of high quality. located in prospect near this story as the here for almost ten years and as you can see we've got a rather impressive selection of everything you would need to make sushi at home whether it be ginger or various sushi biggest and best of all the prices are really quite competitive the shrimp scale selection is seventy five roubles that's just

under three dollars so in this crazy capital full of sushi restaurants there's no excuse you can't afford it. today muscovites at its height for japanese food continues who enjoy outstanding growth and the cuisine seems slightly fishy to take a to go. has now become as calm places borsch peace a true sign of the multicultural metropolis that is moscow and i for one wonder moscow will be next. so i'll tell my firsthand experience let's hope that the sushi that i create a home will be a success unfortunately that's was how we have won this week's program and sushi mania here in the us and capital i'll see you again at the same time next week for more cultural tsunami goods and sell them for me and the rest of the team by.
