Shun Hinoki Cutting Board

Hinoki is a medium-soft Japanese cypress that provides a forgiving surface for your blades. Unlike harder woods or plastic, it absorbs the impact of the knife edge, which helps maintain sharpness and prevents premature dulling.

Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then wipe it dry immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as the wood can warp or crack when exposed to excessive moisture or heat.

No, the delicate, citrus-like scent of Hinoki is subtle and will not transfer to your ingredients. It is a natural characteristic of the wood that adds a pleasant, clean aroma to your kitchen workspace.

At 15.75 by 10.75 inches, this medium-sized board is ideal for daily tasks like chopping vegetables, herbs, or slicing fruit. It is specifically designed to be compact, making it a great fit for smaller kitchens or limited counter space.

Forest thinning involves removing smaller or crowded trees to allow the remaining forest to grow healthier and stronger. This sustainable practice ensures that the wood is harvested responsibly without depleting the forest ecosystem.
