a restaurant in this city that doesn't. seem so to me on this week's moscow hours as we take a look at the sushi mania is taking over the russian capital. change of russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. a difficult word to pronounce the first most muscovites are fascinated by the small rows of rice and well 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 all southerners from using unicode totally 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 very popular dish in moscow i think because of japanese cuisine it's a very healthy cuisine this is the reason is 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 no where near the coast you might worry that anything regarding fish will not be fresh if you can a chef here tells us that the fish is flown in the same morning or shot froze in a technology that permits preservation. such fine dining restaurants pride themselves on strict control over. he call it a mistake and he used the best ingredients. as you can see here sushi truly is an awful wow take a look at this and this sushi plaza cost a staggering three apples rubles was around one hundred dollars so i'm sure it tastes as good as it looks real strong. without any ginger those are the sort who go.

round. 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 then they say it's ok i think maybe right. moving on to this weeks and stay menus and the russian film starring the famous hollywood actress mila your bitch has recently for me to muster titles recruit tassy which translates as flourishes it's remains a comedy about a groom being late to his wedding plus unusual about this movie is that milosevic speaks russian to us have hope 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. hell and also feels feels like when the film producer team or called me and offered

to take close in the movie i was very afraid to speak russian and first said i couldn't do it but then she called nagin and said look it's a comedy michel new take on the ten days and it's going to be very easy for you to just do it by and read this when i saw the amount of scripts for my thoughts in russian i was terrified. of. the visible concentric since those are the only way exhibition for jets names the best of russia. vince's now to mr g.m. displaying green photographs of the national contest aiming to fix all aspects of life in the country the russians hope this lands more than twenty six thousand pictures have been submitted to the contest of the jury's choice and three hundred and sixty five of the best flux should be on display until the twentieth of march. they go and get syria get sued 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 it's you know because the role of the da you could constantly on a diet of capes in the united states figures nice and trim and you know they i think they perceive it to be more healthier than you know maybe grilled meat a ruffian. and what we have in front of this there ok we've got the truth which is . you know thinly sliced machinery form and we've called joe johns all 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 talk to them without having to lie like that search the ice cream carb ice cream kind of sushi flight and unlock it it's lost i much prefer to eat it by the form of a rolled down motto here is and you've known me long enough it's all about the quality of the products we search the base we bring the best in we buy the best you know from all around the world with a reception from a stranger all the old japan you know oh the tuna from japan the pride comes from

contractually we buy the best over you know you pay for it when you come here but it's the best quality and the thing is strange that you can get seriously and it's highly impressed for all instead 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 it's a good business into the russian market you need to sort of offer as much as people want but people warrant and at the end of the the day. want to eat sushi and i want to eat spaghetti afterwards in the faith so why so i bring it modern day moscow yeah let me see yes i'm allowed strike absolutely fired from our salon. moving on if you fancy a sushi lunch for a butt hole in your pocket there are also democratic chains of sushi restaurants. opened in two thousand and five another company buys dozens of restaurants in muskrat's accused but will soften the so-called double menu one hospital sushi includes traditional japanese food while the on

a cold antique sushi teaches popular york in conversation dishes. there are also many sushi restaurants in moscow which go against traditional japanese and serious located in the popular tourist area hot good as sushi is decorated with seafood furniture at the same time funky d.j.'s play the sets in bright neon lights are. just as good as the more strength this is from the russian capsule came in with grace and there's a fee choice of places to choose from a writer was to surprised that the most basic two things would be unusual interior design one fashion because of the lighting change every fifteen minutes which could tie the special atmosphere which are you holding an elephant up. to doublecheck the little sheepish is fresh there are many restaurants with open cheese plaques that speak you all to rise in front of you in sushi because you can

witness the process and the food is placed on the plates of various colors which indicates the price intrudes go to style just pick your freshly made dish from the conveyor belt and enjoy. the. funny there are several connery's schools in a russian capital for various the sushi making causes concern for languages. if you can't meet the ip masses for example because in japanese cuisine is suitable for both how much is and freshness of greatest skills and knowledge there are from five to ten people in the group and one lesson last about six hours. so you sushi is all the rage they must carry why health crazy muscovites cost far less to influence the city's reinvention whatever the reason is will japanese people call mr home seems this little fashion statement is here to stay.

and moving along to our next location is ripe for a real toll 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 affair 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 to tour yourself and ten years and over this period of time it has always been popular with 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 has been 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 with ovarian. and breast 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 calling afford it. today muscovites uptight for japanese food continues who enjoy outstanding growth and the cuisine seems. like a to go. has now become as commonplace as borsch piece a true sign of the multicultural metropolis that is most scared 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 all the time we have in this week's program and sushi mania here in the city capital i'll see you again at the same time next week for more cultural center on against and sell them for me and the rest of the team for.
