Yoshihiro Hi-Soft High Performance Japanese Sashimi Chefs Tool Professional Grade Cutting Board

Hi-Soft is a specialized synthetic material designed to mimic the tactile feel of wood while maintaining the hygiene of a professional cutting surface. It is engineered to be slightly softer than traditional plastic, which helps absorb the impact of your blade to prevent premature dulling.

No, this board is specifically designed to protect delicate knife edges. Its unique composition provides enough resistance for a clean cut while remaining soft enough to prevent the blade from chipping or rolling upon contact.

While it is built to withstand the rigors of a commercial kitchen, it is an excellent choice for home cooks who prioritize knife maintenance and precision. Its professional-grade durability means it will likely outlast standard home-use boards.

Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water after each use. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat can cause the material to warp or lose its structural integrity over time.

The Hi-Soft material is naturally dense and stable, providing a secure, non-slip surface for most standard countertops. However, if you are working on a particularly slick surface, placing a damp towel underneath the board is a standard professional practice to ensure total stability.
