A cutting board is an essential kitchen tool for everyday cooking. Because you use it so often, it’s worth paying a little extra attention to the material and the feel in your hands when choosing one.

Beyond appearance, key points include how the knife meets the surface when you cut ingredients, how stable the board is, how easy it is to care for, and how comfortably it supports your daily tasks—qualities that are often thoughtfully balanced in a well-made Japanese cutting board. Discover a dependable hinoki (Japanese cypress) cutting board from this collection that seamlessly integrates into your everyday kitchen routine.
