Hasegawa Cutting Boards: A Cut Above for Your Japanese Knives
A sharp Japanese kitchen knife should be paired with an adequately high-quality cutting board. Hasegawa is a brand recognized and used all over Japan for delivering high-quality cutting boards that are soft on the edges of your kitchen knives, available in an assortment of series and sizes.
FSR Series
These cutting boards are made from high-quality polyethylene (plastic), making them stain-resistant and resilient to deep cuts. Despite having a wood core that adds rigidity and reduces flex, these Hasegawa cutting boards are still 30-50% lighter than those made entirely of plastic.
The softness of the board makes it ideal for delicate cutting tasks such as slicing fish with a yanagiba. The slight 'stickiness' of the surface ensures that pieces do not move during cutting.
The added rigidity also means the board won't warp or bend, even when placed in the dishwasher at high temperatures.
Hygiene is also a key feature. The wood core is covered and sealed under thick plastic layers, ensuring it remains protected unless the board is grossly damaged.
