Hard Gay makes regular use of a number of catch phrases in his act; he usually makes his entrance in front of the camera shouting “DÅmÅ HÄdogei dÄ“su” (Hello, this is Hard Gay), with arms thrust out and a spin afterwards. His self-introduction is then followed by his famous “dance†moves. He often shouts “Fuuuuuu” (フゥ～!) or “Foohhhh!” (フォーï¼), a running joke in his performances.
Most ramen noodles are made from four basic ingredients: wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui (ã‹ã‚“ã™ã„) which is essentially a type of mineral water, containing sodium carbonate and usually potassium carbonate, as well as sometimes a small amount of phosphoric acid. Originally, kansui was named after the water from Inner Mongolia’s Lake Kan which contained large amounts of these minerals and was said to be perfect for making these noodles. Making noodles with kansui lends them a yellowish hue as well as a firm texture.
