The Hasegawa Pro-Soft Rubber Wood Core Cutting Board (FSR) is designed to provide optimal performance during delicate cutting tasks, such as preparing sushi or sashimi. Unlike typical synthetic cutting boards, the soft rubber material of this board acts as a cushion, effectively absorbing the impact of your knife's blade and helping to preserve its sharpness. Additionally, the grippy surface of the board prevents ingredients from shifting while you cut, allowing for more precise and delicate cuts. With its built-in wood core, this cutting board offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal choice for any home cook or professional chef.

Why Wood-Core?
- Blade Friendly: "Pull and slice" is the usual way to use a knife in Japanese cuisine, so the edge of knives will get chipped easily when used with a hard cutting board. However, this soft rubber cutting board gives you the standard of blade friendliness same as a wooden cutting board and prolongs the edge sharpness
- Sturdy: Wood core prevents warping and bending from long-term use and high-temp washing. It is always stable, dishwasher safe, and shows enough rigidity when in bridging.
- Lightweight: Wood core reduces weight by 30% compared to other solid plastic cutting boards. That makes handling so easy that the burden of washing heavy cutting boards can be reduced. Also, it can avoid serious injuries due to unexpected drops. Wood core structure, 30% reduced weight, rigid, but blade-friendly cutting board.
Isn't Wood-Core Unhygienic?
- The wood core of HASEGAWA's cutting board is sterilized and covered with thick rubber layers fully and completely. Therefore wood won't be exposed except for unusual rough handling.
- An antibacterial solution is infused in the rubber/polyethylene but they do not disclose what kind of solution. This board is SIAA certified, which is one of the highest sanitation standards awarded in Japan, not mean it terminates the bacteria. However antibacterial surfaces in compliance with SIAA standards have been tested to exhibit 1% of the bacterial growth versus untreated surfaces.
- Hasegawa wood core cutting boards are dishwasher-safe and bleach-safe, so these treatments ensure cutting boards are clean. We recommend using cutting boards separately between meat, fish, and others such as vegetables.
Care
- Because of the soft surface technology, be sure to rinse the board often to avoid stains from setting in.
- Dishwasher and bleach safe.
- Do not use or store at temperatures over 194°F (90°C) or below -22°F (-30°C).
- Warping and deformation may occur when weight is applied over a long period at high temperatures. If that happens, heat the board to about 176°F (80°C), place it on a flat surface, place something heavy on top and let it cool.
- Please do not place recently deep-fried food directly onto the board after frying. At scalding hot temperatures the material will absorb oil and grease causing the board to discolor or stain.
