Seki Magoroku Self-Standing Hinoki Cutting Board

A Japanese cypress (hinoki) cutting board with a built-in stand. Hinoki is prized in Japan for its soft, blade-friendly surface, natural antibacterial oils and fast drying; at 13mm thick this is a light everyday slicing board rather than a chopping block.

The stand is a white ash lever that rotates out so the board dries upright on its long edge. The edges are sealed with a urethane coating to limit water uptake, and the board is heat-treated against warping. Available in two sizes.

What's Included

  • 1 x Seki Magoroku Self-Standing Hinoki Cutting Board

Key Features

  • Self-Standing: The rotating white ash stand holds the board upright for fast, hygienic drying.
  • Blade-Friendly Hinoki: The soft grain cushions the edge and keeps knives sharper for longer.
  • Sealed Edges: A urethane coating on the sides limits water absorption and staining.
  • Anti-Warp Treatment: Heat-treated to resist warping from hot water.
  • Lightweight: 460g or 580g, easy to lift, wash and stand.

Care Instructions

Hinoki needs no oil or wax. Wash straight after use with a brush and a little coarse salt, rinse, and stand the board upright to air-dry in the shade; pour boiling water over it now and then to sanitise. Kai rates this board as dishwasher-compatible, but we strongly advise hand washing to protect the wood. Full details in our cutting board care guide.

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
Good to Know
  • Choosing a Hasegawa board: Which board suits your kitchen — our guide cuts through the confusion.
  • Gentle on blades: Japanese rubber boards are kind to knife edges — one reason chefs pair them with Japanese knives.
