Shun Hinoki Cutting Board

Hinoki cypress is a medium-soft wood, which provides a forgiving surface that absorbs the impact of your blade. This helps prevent your knife edge from dulling as quickly as it would on harder woods, glass, or plastic boards.

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher will cause the natural wood to warp, crack, or split. You should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it thoroughly after each use.

The juice groove is a recessed channel around the perimeter of the board designed to catch liquids released from meats, fruits, or vegetables. It keeps your countertop clean and prevents juices from running off the edge while you work.

To keep the Hinoki wood in good condition, avoid soaking it in water and never leave it sitting in a sink. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner will help prevent the wood from drying out and cracking over time.

Yes, the board features a reversible design. You can use both sides for cutting, which helps distribute wear evenly and extends the overall lifespan of the board.
