Ukemi is a cutting board made from Japanese cypress (Hinoki), specially designed for use with sharp Japanese knives. Hinoki is naturally soft, making it gentle on knife blades and an ideal surface for Japanese knife work. Unlike plastic cutting boards, its natural wood surface does not retain water in the same way, allowing it to dry more easily.
With proper care, it stays clean and flat for a long time. Simply wipe it with a dry towel after washing and leave it to dry in a well-ventilated place. When the surface eventually becomes worn, it can be planed back to its original condition, making it feel just like new again.
