Before use:
Wet both sides of the board evenly with water. This helps keep the moisture balance similar across the two faces.

After use:
Rinse with water or warm water, wipe away excess moisture and dry the board in the shade. Stand it upright or place it where air can reach both sides.

Please avoid:
Do not leave it soaking or submerged for a prolonged period, and do not dry it in direct sunlight, close to a radiator or beside a cooker. Rapid or uneven drying can contribute to movement or cracking.

Natural wood note:
Hinoki is a natural material, so the colour, grain and fragrance will vary from board to board. Small changes in shape may occur as the wood responds to its environment. The board should nevertheless sit securely and remain suitable for everyday food preparation.

At a glance

• 1.5 cm-thin Tōnō Hinoki board is lightweight to lift, rinse and store
• Straight-grain construction helps reduce warping while keeping the natural grain clean and even
• Hinoki gives knives a gentler cutting surface and releases a fresh woody aroma when wet

A wooden cutting board does not have to feel heavy or cumbersome.

Made from Tōnō Hinoki, a Japanese cypress grown in the Ura-Kiso region of Gifu, this board is only 1.5cm thick. That keeps it light enough to pick up, rinse and put away easily while still providing a generous everyday cutting surface.

The board is made using straight-grain hinoki rather than a single solid slab. The grain runs cleanly through the surface and the construction is chosen to help reduce the movement and warping that natural wood can develop over time.

Hinoki also gives a softer contact under the knife than harder board materials. Wet the board before use and its fresh, resinous woody aroma becomes more noticeable, adding something tactile and sensory to everyday chopping and preparation.

Available in three sizes, it works equally well for quick breakfast preparation, vegetables and fruit or larger meal prep. As with all natural wood, the grain, colour and aroma will vary slightly from piece to piece.
