Product Details

Made by Kiri Tansu (Paulownia chest) maker located in the famous Kiri Tansu producing area of Echizen. These Kiri (paulownia) woods are left under the sky for three years to clean up the inside of the wood naturally, and as a result it doesn't change colour easily. These boards are incredibly light for their size.

Note - as these are made from wood, every board will be a bit different in colour and grain. This is normal and part of the charm of natural wood products.

Preparation Before Use

- Wash both sides of a board before your first use with a soft sponge with a kitchen mild detergent, and rinse it well then put water on the surface.

- A board impregnated with water has the effect of reducing the food’s juice or smell being absorbed into the board.

Daily Care and Keeping

- After use of a board, please wash it using a soft sponge with a kitchen mild detergent and rinse it well, before wiping off water to keep in dry condition.

- When you sterilise, wash it with a kitchen mild detergent first, then pour boiling water over a board.

- If you use bleaching agent, impregnate a board with water before bleaching to avoid getting the smell into the board.

- Avoid direct sunlight and put a board airy place in the shade when you dry outside. Direct sunlight cause warp, transform or crack.

- If darkening appears, wash a board using a sponge with a cleaner.

- Darkening can be removed by polishing with 200 grit of sandpaper. (*Note that it cannot be removed perfectly depending on the depth of scratch by knife cutting)

- Do not put in a dishwasher and do not dry in a microwave or oven, as this will damage your board

Precautions for Use

- Since this product is made of natural wood some warping may happen. It is unavoidable due to characteristics of a material. If it happens, wet the board, then put the convex surface up and leave it a day. It will be restored to an original condition. (*There may be a difference depending on each product.)

- Note that washing with a hard material like a scrubber might damage the board.
