About West Japan Tools
West Japan Tools is the brainchild of Takayuki Shibata, based in Fukuyama City. Shibata-san is probably best known in knife circles as the founder of Masakage Knives, but his curiosity didn't stop there. After years of cooking for his family, he found himself frustrated by the tools available to him, and that frustration pushed him to start developing his own kitchen products, beginning with a quest to build the perfect frying pan, which eventually expanded into a broader range of kitchen tools and accessories.
Care
Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap after each use, never put it in the dishwasher. Dry it immediately with a towel and stand it upright to allow air to circulate on both sides. Regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax board conditioner to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out and cracking. Light surface scratches are completely normal and part of using a wood board.
