This cutting board is made from high-quality Kirin (Paulownia) wood by skilled craftsmen of Aizu Kirin-dansu. The softness of the Kirin wood makes it less likely to damage knives, and its natural antibacterial properties add to the appeal of using Kirin wood in cutting boards. The design features a light weight and rounded edges, making it easy to handle.
This cutting board is not only a daily essential, but also makes a great gift.
【Kirin wood】
Kirin wood is mainly grown in Mishima-cho, Fukushima Prefecture. It is grown in suitable environments, resulting in a straight and glossy wood grain. It has excellent moisture permeability and insulation properties, maintaining a constant humidity and temperature throughout the year, making it ideal for storing moisture-sensitive foods and precision equipment.
In addition, Kirin wood is prevented from turning black even after long-term use because the tannin is extracted from the wood for about five years after being cut down, while being exposed to rain and snow. Therefore, domestic Kirin wood has excellent durability and can maintain its beauty even after prolonged use.
