Authentic Japanese Hinoki Wood Cutting Board for Knife Preservation

Upgrade your preparation game and safeguard your knife collection with the Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board. Crafted from Hinoki, a type of medium-soft Japanese cypress known for its gorgeous appearance and natural aroma, this cutting board is designed to yield slightly as you slice, helping to maintain the sharpness of your Shun fine cutlery. Its medium size makes it ideal for a wide range of cooking tasks and its compact design ensures convenient storage when not in use. It is recommended to wet the board before each use to prevent staining and to wash it with a mild detergent, towel dry, and then air dry away from direct sunlight. Stubborn stains can be tackled by rubbing a cut lemon across the affected area. Both sides of the cutting board are suitable for food preparation, and if you notice the board starting to curve, simply flip it over and use the other side until it flattens out again. Avoid washing the board in the dishwasher to maintain its quality.
