About Shun Hinoki Cutting Board

The Hinoki cutting board from Shun is great for cutting a large variety of ingredients and foods without taking up too much space on your countertop. Hinoki is a type of Japanese cypress wood that displays a beautiful texture and color. Hinoki has a natural and high resistance to mold, rotting, and warping, making it the ideal wood for cutting boards. It also has a natural medium-soft density, which provides just enough “give” in the wood as you cut, helping to preserve your blade’s sharp edge. Overall, Shun Hinoki cutting boards are truly the perfect cutting surface for every Shun knife in your collection. To keep your board looking fresh, we recommend wetting it before each use to prevent staining. Hinoki wood used in Shun’s cutting boards is grown in Japan and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for sustainable forest management practices. All Hinoki products are made from wood that resulted from forest thinning, a process required for maintaining healthy forest growth.
