[Material] Aomori Hiba, Made in Japan
Aomori Hiba is said to be a highly practical timber with high durability, water resistance, and rot resistance, making it a suitable tree for cutting boards. Its antibacterial effect prevents dark spots, its deodorizing effect prevents the fishy odor characteristic of wooden cutting boards, and it can also be expected to have an insect repellent effect. Glued laminated wood, which is made by gluing several straight-grained boards together to make a single board, has better strength and durability than a single board. A straight-grain laminated cutting board is much more durable and will last longer than a single-grain cutting board that can easily warp and split. A craft technique that involves assessing the properties of each piece of wood, predicting warpage and twisting after completion, and then considering and assembling the combinations of parts to prevent this from occurring. It is a craftsmanship that can only be achieved by hand by veteran craftsmen, something that cannot be done by machines.
[Point] Lightly wet the cutting board with water before use. A film of water forms on the surface, making it difficult for food odors and colors to penetrate, and also preventing dark stains.
[Care] - After use, wash with water along the grain of the wood with a scrubbing brush to remove dirt thoroughly. - If you are concerned about food smells or dirt, you can use a neutral detergent, but please wash carefully with water. Please do not use bleach as it will make the surface fluffy. - After cleaning, wipe off the moisture with a cloth and dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated shaded area.
[Caution] - Rapid drying using a dish dryer or direct sunlight may cause cracking or deformation. - Be sure to use the cutting board on a stable, flat surface and be careful not to slip. - If your cutting board is warped, cover it with a damp cloth, weigh it down, and leave it overnight to reduce the warping. - Wood oil may evaporate and adhere to the surface of the product or the inside of the shrink pack, but this is a resin component unique to Aomori Hiba called "Hiba oil". There are no problems with product quality or food hygiene, so please use with confidence.
