Cypress trees grown in harsh environments
Cypress trees grown in harsh environments
We use Tono Hinoki cypress, grown on the Gifu side of Mount Ontake, which straddles Nagano and Gifu prefectures.
Tono Hinoki cypress grows in a harsh environment for trees, with poor soil, little annual rainfall, and harsh winters. It takes several times longer to grow than cypress from other regions, resulting in dense annual rings and firm bodies .
It is highly durable and water-resistant, making it the perfect wood for cutting boards.
Strong and beautiful straight grain board
63 hinoki cutting boards are made from "straight-grained width-spliced lumber."
Straight-grained boards are made by cutting a log vertically from its core to its ends and lumbering it, resulting in a straight grain pattern.
These width-spliced lumber, made by lining up straight-grained boards widthwise and gluing them together, is durable and resistant to warping and cracking, and the beauty of the wood grain selected by craftsmen is also an appealing feature.
Gentle blade contact
Cypress cutting boards are elastic, which helps protect the blade of your knife from damage and chips when cutting foods.
The surface of the board supports the blade of your knife, allowing you to cut with a light, tapping sound.
The soft and gentle fragrance of cypress
A cypress cutting board gives off a pleasant fragrance even while you are using it.
The aromatic components of cypress have refreshing, deodorizing, antibacterial, and insect-repellent effects. You can enjoy the scent of forest while cooking.
*The scent will gradually fade with use.

"Wood resin" is a sign of health
Sticky stains that appear on the surface are the oozing of an oily component called "wood resin"
They are not caused by dirt or damage, and do not pose a food hygiene problem or harm to the human body.
It suppresses the growth of bacteria and the growth of mold, and the more wood resin there is, the more water-resistant the item becomes and the more it prevents blackening.
If you are bothered by stickiness of wood resin, rinse it off with hot water or lightly polish it with sandpaper.
