Yurio gives Yuri the bag of katsudon pirozhki, saying "It's almost your birthday, right?" However, it is a Russian superstition that if you give someone birthday wishes before the actual day of their birthday, they will have bad luck. The creators of the show are clearly aware of this- in episode 10, when Yuri is walking with Viktor in Barcelona, he mentions that Viktor's birthday is coming and asks what he'd like as a gift. Viktor responds by saying "In Russia, we don't celebrate before the actual birthday." So I'm wondering what this means. Was Yurio trying to give Yuri bad luck on purpose? Is he just not superstitious? Is this just an inconsistency that went unnoticed?
