Cutting board SHUN HINOKI 32 x 23 cm, natural, wood, KAI

Product detailed description

A kitchen chopping board is usually just a backdrop. With the KAI SHUN HINOKI, however, its relationship with the knife is almost the main story. The softer hinoki wood is gentler on the blade than hard work surfaces, so it makes the most sense where you don't want to send a high-quality Japanese blade into a day-long battle with a board that clearly has sharper elbows.

Main advantages:

• The oval KAI SHUN HINOKI M DM-0812 chopping board combines a pleasant natural material, gentleness to the blade and a practical work surface for everyday preparation of ingredients.
• It is made of Japanese hinoki cypress, a medium-soft wood that is gentler on knife edges and helps preserve their sharpness for longer.
• When slicing vegetables, fruit, herbs, meat or other ingredients, you get a solid wooden work surface that is great to work on, even with high-quality Japanese knives.
• Hinoki wood has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which are a pleasant hygienic bonus during daily food preparation.
• The natural water repellency of hinoki wood comes in handy during routine kitchen work, where the chopping board regularly comes into contact with moisture from ingredients.
• Dimensions of approximately 32 × 23 × 2 cm offer plenty of space for routine chopping without the board taking up an unnecessarily large part of the worktop.
• The oval shape has a softer feel than classic rectangular boards, while providing a comfortable surface for daily carving and ingredient preparation.
• Hinoki is a traditional material in Japan, used not only for kitchen utensils, but also in the construction of temples, shrines and the worktops of high-quality sushi restaurants.
• The pleasant natural scent of hinoki complements the food preparation experience itself and gives the board a character you won't find in common plastic alternatives.
• It is advisable to lightly dampen the surface before use, as this simple step helps to reduce staining from the ingredients being processed.
• After use, simply wash the board with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry so that the wood retains its properties for as long as possible.
• The light grain of the Japanese cypress and the simple oval shape look natural and elegant, so you don't have to hide the board away immediately after every use.
• The DM-0812 model belongs to the KAI SHUN range and is designed as a high-quality work surface for chefs who want to give their sharp knives a more suitable surface.
