As I was shop around and looking for some Japanese Wooden board to add in my product category and was suggested by my Japanese business partner Mr. Motoki San and explain about Hiba board/wood,. It is considered better wood for cutting boards than Hinoki wood since the trees used are more mature, with tighter grain and better stability and durability.
It can take up to 300 years to be 70cm in diameter, compared to typical Japanese cedar which takes 100 years to reach the same size. This slow growth rate creates a very fine grain, which is why it is called "Golden Wood." Our cutting boards are made in the tradition of skilled Japanese craftsmen, with attention to detail and consideration for the best way to make the most of this natural resource.
