Hara Hachi Bu

Posted on December 9, 2013

I learned a new principle last week. It’s a Japanese philosophy called Hara Hachi Bu. They have been following this principle for generations.

Posted on December 9, 2013

I couldn’t actually hear what they were saying, but I followed the sound. When I reached the voice, it was that of a man giving a Vita-Mix demonstration. Honestly, I was mesmerized, intrigued and downright awed. He was making everything from soups to nuts and, of course, giving taste-tests of everything he made. I had to have one of these....
