The combination of the designer Makoto Koizumi, 100 year old high-quality Tosa cypress and artisans who have continued to make items cherishing local materials, has helped create the world's thinnest cutting board that has a thickness of only 8mm!
Thinness also brings about important lightness. This lightness makes for a useful tool that you will feel close to and gives cypress that has lived for 100 years a new purpose.
Thin and light so you can prepare dishes easily. The resin of cypress has an anti-bacterial effect. As this is wood, it is kind to blades, so knife sharpness will last for a long time.
[The power of resin]
The tar of Shimanto cypress is evidence of the tree's good health. The resin is not dirt but an anti-bacterial mass that suppresses the growth of bacteria. The more resin, the better it resists against water and wood darkening. Should excess resin come out of the board, wash off with hot water.
[Tosa Board Features]
1. Resistant against water: Tosa boards are made of more than 100 year old quality cypress curtailed by the strong Kochi sea breeze. Cypress is used in the foundations of buildings as it is resistant to water and is resilient. This also makes it the perfect material for a cutting board.
2. The power of resin: The resin is not dirt but an anti-bacterial mass that suppresses the growth of bacteria. The more resin, the better it resists against water and wood darkening.
3. Thin & light: By sandwiching cherry blossom wood between straight grain cypress, this 8mm ultra-thin board that won't warp easily was created. This thin, light cutting board will reduce work burden and you will use it often as a favorite item.
4. It is wood: This cypress board is resilient yet soft, so won't damage blades keeping them sharp longer.
5. The work of Tosaryu: The work of Tosaryu makes use of all of the material, without leaving any, with much gratitude to an important life that contains a 100 year amount of carbon.
