Review: Wood is the way to go - I finally upgraded from cheap plastic sheets to this board after buying a real chef knife. Right off the bat, it smelled like a serene forest. I'm not kidding. Out of the package it smelled of real wood and trees and it was very pleasant. As far as performance goes, this thing is great. It's a medium softness wood so it will give a bit (good for keeping the apex on your good knives). Make sure you splash it with some cold water first before using it to try to get those fibers to expand. It won't really affect performance but it will help with liquids staining. Of course if you're cutting beets or something, that's inevitable. The fact that it's wood means it's antimicrobial by nature and that's important. Those plastic sheets I was using prior were a breeding ground for bacteria because of all the grooves a knife would cut into it. Overall I think this is a great board. Light as a feather, hard enough to be sturdy but soft enough not to dull your knife. I'm very happy with it so far. Review: Worth it - It was hard to press the order button on this cutting board due to the cost, but I'm glad I did for reasons that made my wife happy, which is the most important reason. She liked it immediately because it smelled like a Christmas tree. She didn't use it for three days while it acted as an air freshener. It is thick (1/2") and large, but light weight so a nice complement to the small/thinner board we bought first. The wood is soft, which I understand some view as a negative, but if you spent $1,000 on a block of Shun or other high end knives it helps protect the razor sharp edges from dulling as quickly. ## Features - MEDIUM CUTTING BOARD: The Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board is expertly designed to be the perfect cutting surface for any knife. Medium-soft wood "gives" as you cut, helping to preserve knife edges. - PREMIUM MATERIALS: This Shun wood cutting board is made from hinoki, a type of Japanese cypress long-renowned for its beauty and delicate natural fragrance.

Use softer boards that will “give” instead. Shun recommends Hinoki wood, a Japanese cypress prized for its durability, beauty, and light fragrance. **Q: How do I take care of my Hinoki cutting board?** A: Wet the cutting board before each use; this will help resist staining. Wash the board with a mild detergent, then towel it dry. Finally, let it air-dry away from direct sunlight. **Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?** A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition. **Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?** A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home. **Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?** A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wood is the way to go *by M***O on June 10, 2026* I finally upgraded from cheap plastic sheets to this board after buying a real chef knife.

I bought it after purchasing a fairly nice carbon steel knife to prevent chipping and dulling. The hinoki smell when you wet it down is amazing. It does have some small stains after use but doesnt affect the functionality of it. No warping so far, bit I hand wash both sides and air dry completely. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board, 15.75" x 10.75" Wooden Japanese Chopping Board for Kitchen, Medium-Soft Wood Preserves Knife Edges, Forest Stewardship Council Certified - Shun Saya Sheath, Universal Fit for 7”-8” Chef and Santoku Knives, Blonde Beech Wood, Knife Edge Guard for Professional and Home Chefs - Shun Classic Blonde 8" Chef's Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife for Professional and Home Chefs, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/12699665-cutlery-medium-hinoki-cutting-board-15-75-x-10-75](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/12699665-cutlery-medium-hinoki-cutting-board-15-75-x-10-75) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
