If you've had the pleasure of visiting an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant -- and we don't mean of the conveyor-belt variety -- then you may have experienced the elegant appearance and undeniable appeal of the wooden board on which sushi is often served. The finest sushi boards are made from high-quality hinoki cypress, which, in addition to its unsurpassed beauty, offers an antibacterial property so important to serving fresh sushi. At Japan Unique Gifts, our sushi boards are handcrafted using hinoki wood at least 300 years old. After cutting, the wood is allowed to dry completely before working it into final shape. No coating is used, allowing you to feel the natural wood and take pleasure from its pleasing fragrance. Our lovingly crafted sushi boards don't have to be used for sushi, of course. Their simple, elegant design makes them a perfect and unique choice for tableware of true distinction. HAND MADE IN JAPAN
