the dance course and stroganoff i personally think that sushi is now one of the most popular it's assisting the person capsule the line somewhere but apart from say my dogs another foster outlets it seems 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 mania the second over the rescue capsule. came to russia in the ninety nine to use a difficult word pronouncer first most muscovites were fascinated by the small rolls of rice and well fish today there are hundreds of sushi bars here and with russians becoming more knowledgeable about other cuisines that thrown in with lower prices it seems sushi is available to satirise from using unique because of the total 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 associate

these with a very popular dish in moscow i think because. japanese cuisine is a very healthy cuisine this is the reason was that so also offers various sushi masa classes find out how the classic california and philadelphia bros came to russia not from japan but from the us also in a city that is no where near the coast you might worry that anything regarding fish will not be fresh began to shift here tells us that the fish is flown in the same morning a shot froze it but technology that permits preservation. such fine dining restaurants pride themselves on strict control over. the quality insists they only use the best ingredients. as you can see here sushi truly is an awful wow take a look at this and this sushi place across

a staggering three baptism rubles was around one hundred dollars so while i'm sure it tastes as good as it looks we go straight. without any ginger most of it was sort. of wow. that is amazing that one of the head chefs i know in moscow once told me that they actually said that's a sushi here in moscow and they say it's ok i think maybe right. moving on to this weeks and stayman use the russian film starring the famous hollywood actress mila you're a bitch has recently for me to muster titles recruit tassy which translates as flourishes is romantic comedy about a groom being late to his wedding was unusual about this movie is that milosevic

speaks russian to us. at the red carpet event the actress was seeing giving interviews in english and in russian saying she's very proud of every. el ansel feels instantly when the film crews use a team or called me and offered to close in the movie i was very afraid to speak russian and first said that i couldn't do it but then she called nagin and said look it's a comedy but ilmu take only ten days and it's going to be very easy for you say just do it i agreed with you when i sold a month of scripts for my course in russian i was terrified. of insulting simply hobson's a person i knew what exhibition project names the best of russia. events now to mr geography just playing with friends across of the national contest they may choose to take it all aspects of life in the country the rush to talk this man's movie twenty six thousand pictures have been submitted to the contest and the jury has chosen three hundred and sixty five of the best works should be on display until

the twentieth of march. they claimed that syria gets sued so sushi mania in moscow was all about how much think it's driven by the women. and obviously it's it's considered healthy it's considered life as you know because the role of exotica constantly on a diet of cape some people says because nice and trim and you know they i think they perceive it to be more healthier than you know maybe grilled me to rule feet. and what we have in front of the sale we've got that you know which is. i mean i thin lee sliced the sheeny foreman with god so i would do all of oil to you know a little bit of a cough console's this is a hand roll and you know it's with the nori filled with rice and you can basically top them with whatever you lock like as sushi ice cream ice cream kind of sushi

flight and i like it it's nice i much prefer to eat it for the phone number all around not so here is and you've known me long enough it's all about the quality of the product we search the best we bring the best in we buy the best you know from all around the world with someone from the struggle of the old japan you know all the tuna from japan the pride comes from comes out the week we buy the best over you know you pay for it when you come here but it's the best quality and jumping it's strange that you can get sushi at it italian restaurants have you can get it anywhere and everywhere look you know that's a very specific i guess to the russian market and i think at the end of the day you know it's a good business into the russian market you need to sort of offer as much as people want what people warrant and at the end of the day for. when it's good sushi and i want to eat spaghetti afterwards in the face all high so i bring it monday moscow yeah let me see yes i'm allowed strike absolutely if i start my salon. moving on if you fancy

a sushi lunch but hold your pocket there also democratic chains of sushi restaurants. opened in two thousand and five another company post dozens of restaurants in moscow as a pittsburgh will soften a so-called double menu one hospital sushi includes traditional japanese food while the on a cold and sweet sushi features popular your pin and brushing dishes. there are also many sushi restaurants in moscow which go against traditional japanese interiors located in the popular tourist area hot goodwill sushi is decorated with see through funny check at the same time funky d.j.'s play the sets in bright neon lights. this is the most trying this is an inversion capsule came in with grace and there is a fee choice of cases to choose from our idea was to strike out in most cases two things would be unusual interior design one fact the colors of the light and change

every fifteen minutes you can find a special atmosphere each year you hold a national health. double check that you'll sushi dish is fresh there are many restaurants with a local kitchens where ex-pats make you a lot of rice in front of you to see because lot of become witness the process and then the food is placed in the place a very skull is which indicates the price in truth just kicks your freshly made dish from the conveyor belt and enjoy. the funny there are several colorways schools in the russian capital for there is a sushi making class is this the languages. in the academy to be ip masters for example because the japanese cuisine is suitable for both the much is and freshness to upgrade the skills and knowledge there are from five to ten people in a group on one lesson last about six hours.

so you see she is all the rage in modern day moscow why health craze muscovites far eastern influence the city's reinvention whatever the reason is for japanese people whom it seems this little fashion statement is here to stay. a moving along to our next location it's right for a real color a question of sushi that much when i try and present yourself i hired. the popularity of eating sushi in his restaurant to drop during the recent economic crisis but i didn't hold a new love affair with the secrecy whom sushi exploded in the next thing was that many muscovites started to create it at home as they can to market in new york it's surely a shock for ten years and over this period of time it has always been popular with the customers to provide good customer service even get into dyson cooking from our

shop assistants and of course all true that's in the shop are fresh and of high quality. located in prospect near this area as the here for almost ten years unless you can see with a rather impressive selection of everything you would need to make sushi at home whether it be ginger with various you've been a guest and best of all the prices are really quite competitive the shrimp tell selection is seventy five roubles that's just under three dollars so in this crazy couple full of sushi restaurants there's no excuse carla for that. today muscovites appetite for japanese food continues who enjoy outstanding growth and using it seems slightly fishy two decades ago. it has now become as commonplace as borsch piece a true sign of the mostly cultural metropolis that is moscow and i for one wonder what will be next. so after all my firsthand experience let's hope that the

sushi that i create a home will be a success unfortunately that's always how we have in 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 gains and sell them for me and the rest of the team by. wealthy british.

know what it's what it's like but as he's going to want to pull back and the way he plays i just enjoyed playing him earlier jockey but you also made it through although in a much more dramatic fashion so paul stanley said to thomas burdick on the tiebreaker the pound is rhythm in the sack and claiming it's six to match was level one the check started to show signs of pain and fatigue he was seen by the doctor several times and eventually retired at forty two down naming a thigh jury as the reason so it was joe creature advance to the final but he seemed unhappy with the way he did it. and the result that i had here last three years you know again i reached the finals and i'm very happy about it even though today's match was. probably my worst much this year and i really mean so many unforced errors the conditions were really you know differently and what was going through for you know it was a negative thing it's like we were in but it was

a we. moving on and basketball david lloyd has announced he is going to stay on as russian national team had coached the american israeli had contemplated quitting his post after last as well championships but as richard bond quote reports now has changed his mind and now in sounds to leave this cord to the london olympics. he's one of the world's longest serving basketball national team coaches and now he intends to extend his stay even longer peter grant has been at the helm of russia's team since two thousand and five and he's had a fair degree of success to winning the two thousand and seven europe boss who cry on the american israeli state he quit his post following last year's world championships but now says he's had a change of heart i think for a change and you're in the guard. of the federation with a new vision with. perhaps the ability to answer some of the needs and requirements of what i saw as necessary in order to move the corporate forward and

a renewed sense of purpose on my part more energy better physical and mental state in terms of the approach of the your task which is always big and great. no real desire to continue to work. in a country in a national team or would have been a part of it for a long time. and hope hope that we can build something new and great but championships so russia who with five alliance and under the caribbean can get to now cause a few surprises and with an untried and untested squad they would eventually finished in second place i'm glad says the hunger his side showed was one of the main reasons he decided to stay on i got to tell you while i was not in the best frame of mind right at the end of the competition when i when i look back at the competition and all the great things that we did at the worlds with the young to knew we had it with or without the top level players that were missing you know i

really excited me about the prospects for the russian national team in the future and it's just my sincere hope that those guys that we were missing will come back and play and your guys will be healthy and participate and i think that we can have a great national team and an extended for classes to make sure his side performs well of the upcoming european championships in a few wainaina which given the way just over six months time a good showing band will guarantee his side a place in the two thousand and twelve olympics i'm glad hopes to be able to call him some of his top my is what i'm told immense when you look at our team in the quarter from that we had last year with. ross colvin called talent. and more foreign service and so many of the young guys that came in and showed themselves well prove themselves during the time that they spend with us plus the fact that you have the possibility of caraway from coming back and enjoy this which is the kind of quality level that you really need to make that jump to the highest

level in the hope that victor korea will find a way back to good health that's very very much up in the air. you know so i just see great potential for this team london olympics may be a long way away and with the russian team has already received a timely boost as most successful head coach in the team's recent history has decided to stay on for another few years which will play don't see. over to the gate. feeling some early pressure after falling to lowering to your grandma they three all the playoffs also sort of dogs out on guard bows back from a surprise the fates and after he make so this is what a single phrase for the final series look like after two games it's one whole bit when rick lazio and michelle who work the same school between regular season when i was on guard and they have to hear me tell us a lot bob and that parser feel uncomfortable with a two nil laid out to friday's games. and saying all their eyes on scott britt has

proven to be the world's ultimate bladerunner this year the russian space skates and winning gold at the european and world all round championships that historic feat serving as a grade build up for next year's world finals in moscow as well as the social impacts in two thousand and fourteen miles of course carry ports. this poorly winner a huge improvement over last year for the twenty eight year old car breath the bar of skin native did bring russia their first medal of the twenty two and olympics with a five thousand meter bronze in vancouver he added ten thousand meters silver later but those results were overshadowed by the team's poor overall performance. of however dominate a european competition in italy in january the russian posing the best combined time across four different distances that they go all around crown the speed skater repeated though you don't the world stage in canada earlier this month doing enough in the five hundred fifty two hundred five thousand in two thousand meter runs and

scarborough of believes becoming the first russian all around world champion since one thousand nine hundred eighty seven could be more important than a little glory. i didn't agree with the country's laws will champion ical a good year he said winning in the all around means more the skaters and even a little success that of course doesn't mean that i'm taking any pressure of myself or the upcoming such league games i promise to do the best i can there the all rounder's have been is very tough as you have to go through all distances battling minor injuries and not so long the way so i'd like to give credit to my excellent coaching and medical staff i also went online in between distances and read about the huge support i was receiving from fans all across russia so i'd like to think them to. july of one thousand nine hundred eighty one kilometer olympic gold on the same calgary rink was scarred griffiths you've the world glory this year the forty five year old sees a great athlete and also an excellent strategist immersion in scarborough. news though i wouldn't want to draw any parallels between our respective triumphs

in canada but i was very impressed with the way van paced himself throughout the varying distances such as the fifteen hundred metres and ten kilometers. of his not only a talented speed skater but also a very smart mouth elise if there weren't a supply store sports in school group deserves the title. and wouldn't. so a future and current speed skating legend are in agreement but scobbie have still has plenty of challenges ahead of him she'll be focusing on adding a gold medal in sochi to match his predecessor events are key. and also goal for the match play championship finally where it's the quarter final stage with loads of favorites already out arcand google watson was the first one to add to the law states with win over two time champion australian geoff ogilvy meanwhile the highest ranked player still in contention for this year's title as well the two martin crime or german fullback from two down against hull to maine eventually beating him two and one climber could replace only west with at the top

of the rankings if you get make it to the final this week elsewhere luke donald put a bounce in the tail but also as impressive run of the championship the seventeen year old italian who previously defeated steve stricker and what still goes south korean to the english french and due to unfavorable weather forecast for sunday the organizers have changed the schedule with both the quilter's amisom is now due to be played for later on saturday. that's a score for the moment coming up short after this as the weather stay with us.
