A premium cutting board crafted to bring out the finest in sharpness and comfort.

Perfect for those seeking the ideal match for their Japanese knives, for anyone who values effortless cutting, or as a thoughtful gift for passionate home cooks.

Made from centuries-old Japanese ginkgo wood, one of the most revered materials for cutting boards, it offers a silky-smooth yet soft surface that enhances knife control and preserves sharpness. The choice of board dramatically affects how long a knife stays sharp, and ginkgo wood has been beloved by Japanese chefs for generations for exactly that reason.

Also recommended as a gift for those who truly care about their knives — it’s even favored by Chef Nobu, the world-renowned culinary pioneer who brought Japanese cuisine to New York.

Features and Craftsmanship

Excellent water resistance and natural antibacterial properties

Ginkgo wood contains rich natural oils, allowing water to drain quickly and preventing bacterial growth. It dries fast and stays clean with minimal care.

Natural self-healing resilience

Over time, knife marks may appear on the surface, but when the board is rinsed, the fibers slightly swell and restore themselves, a unique trait of ginkgo wood that keeps it looking fresh even after long use.

Exceptional cutting feel

Its fine, moist texture prevents ingredients and blades from slipping, allowing precise control even when cutting delicate foods.

Gentle on knives and hands

The natural cushioning of ginkgo wood allows the blade to sink just enough into the surface, reducing edge chipping and strain on the wrist.

Rare Material and Master Craft

Each cutting board is carefully cut from a massive ginkgo tree over 100 years old, letting you feel the life and warmth of centuries-old wood in your kitchen.

Only a handful of expert wood sawyers in Japan are capable of selecting and cutting the right timber by hand, judging its texture and dryness with masterful precision.

Every board is made from a single plank of straight-grained (masame) wood, which is far denser and more stable than regular flat-grain wood. This prevents warping and ensures an even, consistent feel when the blade meets the board.

Created in collaboration with WONDERWOOD, this double-branded piece embodies the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship, a pursuit of tools that feel good in the hand, age beautifully, and serve you for a lifetime.
