Highlights

Light, Rigid, and Outstandingly Blade-Friendly!

The ‘wood-core structure’ is what makes Hasegawa cutting boards special.
The reasons why are explained with the 3 points below;

1. Light Weight for Hygiene & Safety

Hasegawa cutting boards contain lightweight wood inside them which makes them 30-50% lighter than other plastic ones.
Handling the cutting boards becomes much easier, leading to better hygiene and maintenance.
It is also safe for handling in kitchens, as the risk of injury is lower if you drop it on the floor.

2. Rigidity & Heat Resistance for Hygiene

With the rigidity of wood and our adhesive technology, it does not easily warp under heat or pressure.
Our cutting boards can be cleaned with dishwashers or disinfected with boiling water.
This rigidity brings you a stable and comfortable platform without being deformed or uneven.

3. Blade-Friendly, a Gentle Touch for Delicate Knives

The rigidity allows very soft plastic to be applied to the surface of the cutting boards.
Conventional ones have a hard surface to keep their rigidity.
In fact, cutting boards are the key to maintaining a sharp blade on knives.
Our cutting boards with a soft surface are suitable, especially for Japanese knives with delicate blades.
