Hinoki Wood Cutting Boards, Set of 3

Hinoki is a naturally soft Japanese cypress prized for its lightweight feel, subtle fragrance, and exceptionally gentle cutting surface. Its forgiving grain cushions the blade as you cut, helping preserve sharp knife edges over time.

Ideal For

Everyday slicing, chopping, and prep, especially when using sharp, fine-edged knives

How It’s Made

Crafted from edge-glued strips of Japanese Hinoki cypress with no surface coatings or added finishes

Why Hinoki

Naturally softer than traditional hardwood cutting boards, Hinoki provides a forgiving surface that’s gentle on knife edges. Its softness means knife marks, dents, and surface wear will develop with use, while the unfinished natural wood may expand, contract, or temporarily bow as it absorbs and releases moisture.
