The Essential Hinoki Cutting Board is as functional as it is beautiful. Known for its soft yet durable nature, hinoki wood offers a gentle touch for your knives while adding a refined, natural charm to your kitchen.
Handmade by skilled artisans, every board is crafted with care and attention to detail. With its lightweight design and superior functionality, this cutting board is ideal for everything from day-to-day meal prep to elegant presentations.
Hinoki Wood
Made entirely from sustainably sourced hinoki, a type of Japanese cypress renowned for its strength and natural self-healing properties. This wood is the perfect choice for cutting boards because it’s gentle on knives, durable, and resistant to bacteria and odors, ensuring your board stays fresh and clean for years to come.
Self-Healing
Hinoki’s natural self-healing properties mean that small knife marks close up over time, keeping the board smooth and free from grooves that can trap bacteria. This self-restoring feature makes it a long-lasting and hygienic option for your kitchen.
Edge Grain Construction
Our cutting board features a classic edge grain design, where the wood’s natural fibers are visible. This type of construction is durable, flat, and stunning, allowing the beauty of the hinoki wood to shine through.
Gentle on Knives
Hinoki’s slightly porous texture and soft yet firm nature are gentle on your knife blades, helping maintain their sharpness longer. Unlike harder materials like bamboo or plastic, hinoki wood won't dull or damage your knives.
Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Hinoki boards are lighter than many other hardwood options, making them easy to move, clean, and store, without sacrificing durability or performance.
Antibacterial & Sustainable
The natural oils in hinoki make it resistant to bacteria and odors, contributing to a cleaner, more hygienic cooking surface. Plus, hinoki trees are sustainably harvested, making this cutting board an eco-friendly choice.
To maintain the beauty and function of your hinoki cutting board, simply wash with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking and dry promptly. Periodic oiling will help preserve the wood’s appearance and protect it from drying out.
