Asahi Cookin Cut Rubber Cutting Board, NE05103, Home Use, Made in Japan LL 16.5 x 9.8 x 0.5 inches (42cm x 25cm x 1.3cm)

I've been using this Asahi cutting board for a few years now. It's still as good as new and showing its worth. The feel when cutting on it with sharp, Japanese knives (I like Takamura SG2 blades) is superior to softer rubber boards. The knife edge doesn't bed in as much on this one if you get a little heavy handed, and the contact feels more like hitting edge grain wood.Being rubber though means a little more longevity of the edge, and in my opinion easier cleaning and care. There's no need to oil it periodically, just rinse it after use and drain. Job done. Mine is a little stained now, mostly from spilling stainy-stuff like turmeric on it. It's mostly still the same colour as when it arrived. The size (LL) is perfect for a small to medium kitchen, and plenty big enough for a meal prep for four.Should it ever wear out I'll certainly replace it with another the same.

Excellent cutting board! Japanese quality…👍

Very nice the touch of the blade on the surface of the board. It's different from the normal plastic boards or the wood ones. And if you don't use too much force when cutting the food, the blade does not cut the surface, which remains flawless.The size is ok, although not very big. A bit expensive, does not go in the dishwasher and a bit light. Still ver happy with it!

Holds nice and strong. A liitle expensive, (maybe too much?)

Beautifully simple board. A perfect addition and a must have for Japanese kitchen knives.You pay for the material rather than a flashy design, exactly the way to complement your kitchen in Japanese way ☺️

I've been using 2 of these cutting boards for a year and they are still fantastic to use. They are great for not dulling the blades as quick as well and easy to clean. I thought they were pricey but they've been a good buy.

Nice board but comes with no English care instructions. Temperature ratings not helpful as warped in dishwasher on low temperature eco setting which should have been fine as well below max of 100C quoted.Can sort of get the board flat again by soaking it in the bath (a hot one) then leaving it overnight on a solid floor with a heavy weight (5kg+) on a metal tray of similar dimensions on top of it. May need to repeat a few times as it seems to remember the warped shape a bit.
