Located in Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, "Ki-rin" specializes in crafting cutting boards using sustainably sourced timber. The pleasant rhythm that resonates in the kitchen with each chop cannot be experienced with plastic cutting boards. It's the gentle touch of the blade on the wood that adds color to your culinary experience, a gentle companion in your cooking endeavors. Our cutting boards are made from Hinoki cypress, known for its natural insect-repellent properties. As they dry, they release a fragrance known as "Hinokitiol," believed to have aromatherapeutic effects.
