Handcrafted Japanese Cutting Board in Hinoki Wood, with logo on one side.
Dimensions: 420 x 240 x 20 mm

Experience elegance and functionality with the classic Hinoki cutting board. Hinoki, a Japanese cypress, is renowned for its natural beauty and the delicate scent of citrus it emits. This relatively soft wood yields slightly when you cut, making it the perfect surface to preserve the sharpness of your Japanese knives. Due to the board's softness, we do not recommend heavy chopping. This delicate wood is best suited for slicing tasks with relatively low impact, making it immensely popular in Japanese sushi kitchens where slicing is more common than chopping.

Why Choose Hinoki?

Preserve Knife Edges: Hinoki wood's flexible nature is gentle on knife edges, helping maintain sharpness over time.

Natural Aroma: Enjoy the wonderful and natural citrus scent that emanates from this unique wood, enhancing your cooking experience.

Sustainable Sourcing: Our Hinoki products are crafted from sustainably sourced wood, contributing to forest thinning efforts and supporting healthy forest growth.

To keep your Hinoki cutting board in top condition, follow these simple tips:

Pre-use Moistening: Lightly moisten the cutting board's surface before each use. This helps prevent staining and ensures your board remains in excellent shape.

Gentle Cleaning: Clean the cutting board with a mild and gentle cleaning agent. Then, towel dry and allow it to air dry (avoid direct sunlight).

Not Dishwasher Safe: Please note that Hinoki wood cutting boards are not suitable for the dishwasher. Handwashing is recommended to extend their lifespan.

Store the board flat: Since Hinoki is a soft wood, it may warp slightly if not stored on a flat surface.
