ASAHI

The Japanese Asahi cutting boards, made from synthetic rubber and wood pulp, are perfect for both home kitchens and professional use. By getting an Asahi, you're likely to have a cutting board for life.

Asahi Professional cutting boards were introduced in 1965, and the development towards an even better cutting board has continued ever since. Asahi cutting boards are of such high quality that some restaurants still use boards that are over 40 years old! This truly is a professional cutting board.

Manufacturing and Durability:

Asahi cutting boards are manufactured in Fukaya City, Saitama, Japan. Made from synthetic rubber combined with wood pulp, these boards are both durable and flexible. Asahi cutting boards easily last over ten years, and experience has shown that in home use, the board can last a lifetime, if not longer. Additionally, the boards have passed material and elution tests as part of food sanitation testing, making them safe to use.

Material and Cutting Feel:

The combination of rubber and wood pulp makes Asahi cutting boards both strong and flexible. This makes them ideal for quality knives, with a cutting feel closer to that of a wooden board than a plastic one. The surface is not slippery, providing a good grip, and the board does not clatter like wood fiber boards, making cutting more pleasant.

Easy Cleanability and Maintenance:

One of the most important features of Asahi cutting boards is their easy cleanability. Compared to other rubber boards, Asahi is exceptionally easy to clean. The boards can be washed normally with dish soap, but actual maintenance is done with a light sandpaper treatment by hand. Recommended sandpaper grit is 120-220. This method allows for resurfacing as needed, extending the board's lifespan. The boards dry quickly, making them more hygienic. The low water absorbance prevents bacteria and mold from growing, so it’s also sanitary.

Excellent for Meat Handling:

Due to their cleanability, Asahi cutting boards are particularly well-suited for cutting and handling meat. Their quick drying and easy cleaning make them a hygienic choice for professional kitchens.

Considerations:

While Asahi cutting boards are dishwasher safe, it is advisable to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or high temperatures in a dishwasher in an upright position, as this can cause the board to warp.

Additional Benefits:

Vibration Dampening: Asahi cutting boards dampen vibrations, making cutting smoother and quieter.
Knife Longevity: The soft yet durable surface maintains your knives' sharpness for longer.
Eco-friendliness: Asahi cutting boards are made from environmentally friendly materials, making them an eco-friendly choice.

Asahi cutting boards are the perfect combination of durability, functionality, and eco-friendliness, serving both professional chefs and home cooks.
