Yoshikawa Antibacterial PE Cutting Board - Medium (39x23cm)

Yoshikawa Antibacterial PE Cutting Board

A plain, well made board that does the job without asking for much in return. Polyethylene with antibacterial agents worked through the material itself rather than sprayed on the surface, so it stays effective as the board wears in.

The thing that matters most for anyone using Japanese knives is how the board takes an edge. This one gives slightly under the blade instead of stopping it dead, which is the opposite of what glass, bamboo or hard plastic do to a thin Japanese edge. Less impact through the steel means longer between sharpenings.

The surface carries a fine embossed texture so ingredients don't slide out from under the knife, and at 13mm thick it's light enough to lift one handed, rinse at the sink and stand up in a cupboard. Practical for small kitchens where a heavy end grain block is more board than you need.

Key Features

Antibacterial through the material — Treated polyethylene that inhibits bacterial growth across the surface, for raw and cooked food alike.

Kind to your knives — The PE absorbs blade impact rather than resisting it, so edges hold longer than they would on hard plastic or glass.

Textured, non-slip surface — Fine embossing keeps ingredients where you put them.

Light and easy to live with — Simple to move, wash and store.

Made in Japan — Produced to Japanese manufacturing standards.

Care

Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry properly.

Not dishwasher safe. Dishwasher heat can warp the board permanently.

Keep it away from flames and don't rest hot pans on it.

About Yoshikawa

Yoshikawa works out of Tsubame in Niigata, the metalworking town that supplies a large share of Japan's kitchenware. Seventy plus years in, they still build the same way: traditional manufacturing knowledge applied to tools people actually use every day.
