Cutting Board Made of Antimicrobial Carbonized Wood
The cutting board is made by the knife maker, Tadafusa.
The characteristic of this cutting board, with a beautiful design without any waste, is that it is made out of antimicrobial carbonized wood produced through a special heat treatment patented by Tadafusa.
The antimicrobial carbonized wood is a non-perishable, hygienic material. It is truly a cutting board friendly to both the knives and the users of the knives.
The product is very impressive, I can't love it more! The wetting ability of the material can help the cutting board stay in place while cutting, so no need to place a mat below for stability. No odor or stains on cutting board if rinsed with water before each use as instructed. One thing to note is that please don't use cleaning agent that contains lemon acid, which will dry the board leading to chips (my sad experience). After cutting, I always use hot water (from tap) and a たわし (organic scrub) to slightly clean up the surface, haven't been able to find a powder cleaning that is gentle on this material which is unfortunate. Strongly recommend this one! And I am looking forward to trying the renew service (maybe in a decade or 2) which requires a pro to cut off the outer surface to let the inner layers to show. Thanks for sending this lovely product to me living this far away.

Thank you for sending my order so well packaged as always and shipped so quickly. I really love the Tadafusa Cutting Boards which I use daily. They are surprisingly thick but this makes it more stable and does not move when I use it.The size S board is used to prepare my children's breakfast and school lunch boxes. The M board is used for meal preparation. Both boards are on the small side but appropriate for different purposes. I am now considering purchasing the L size next which will be a good size for bigger meal preparation. Best wishes to you, your family and all the staff at Shokunin for the coming holidays. Have a merry Christmas and happy new year! W.T. from Australia

Cutting Board S
Recommended for people who are living by themselves or cooking using a small space. A size that is handy when cutting cheese and other small-sized fruits, and that takes only a few spaces for storage.
It has longer width, and since users could start cutting their next ingredients while placing the cut ingredients aside on the board, it truly is a convenient size.
Founded in 1948 in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a city known as "Town of Smithing" for 350 years. As to consistently provide the customers with "truly good products," all of the production procedures are done manually by craftsmen. Tadafusa is one of the most popular kitchen knife manufacturers in Japan, and received numerous awards, including Good Design Award and Prize of Smaller Enterprise Agency's Director.
