Koohii stories:

1) [kumakuma] 2-12-2008(58): There is a certain restaurant in West-Shinjuku that serves its noodles made of BARLEY in a MASK instead of a plate. I love these theme-restaurants!

2) [sgrant] 3-2-2010(38): I always eat barley noodles with a mask on - it stops them splashing in your face.

3) [Aerin] 9-6-2008(18): Don't be fooled! That's just barley masquerading as noodles.

4) [kapalama] 22-10-2010(5): 素麺 , 老麺 , 麺 (麵)noodles (#2752 麺) メン … Parts: 麦 , 面 … The most common use for this, Ramen, is actually written in Kana exclusively. The Kanji is used to talk about the noodles themselves before they are cooked into a dish. … Story: How did Chris Barley get so fat? He lived near an all-you-can-eat Noodle shop (Ramen, Somen, etc.). Even after they banned him, he would just put on a mask and keep coming back. Richard Nixon mask? Check. Tony Blair Mask? No good, that mouth is too small.

5) [mantixen] 16-2-2007(5): A mask made entirely of barley noodles.
