A compact tray in European oak, showing the wood’s natural knots and graining so each one is a little different. Measuring 3 x 35 x 25cm — the right size for serving drinks and snacks, or as a catchall for keys and small things by the door.

It’s finished with the engraved Oishya logotype and kamon of three bugeisha fans. The oak’s light, warm tone keeps it easy to place in any room, and the smooth surface wipes clean. As natural wood, colour and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece.

Where it is made

The board makers of Aomori.

In northern Japan, a small mill has processed Hiba cypress for cutting boards for more than a century. The wood comes from forests where Hiba grows slow and tight — dense enough to last fifty years, soft enough not to dull a Japanese edge.

Each board is cut, edge-trimmed, sanded by hand, and signed on the underside by the maker. The first oiling is done at the mill with food-safe camellia oil, so the board arrives already smelling of cypress.

Care, briefly

Two habits keep a board for life.

01.

Hand wash, dry standing up.

Warm water, a soft sponge, mild dish soap. Never the dishwasher — heat splits the wood. Stand it on edge to drain so air reaches both sides.

02.

Oil it once a month.

A teaspoon of food-safe camellia or mineral oil, wiped on with a soft cloth. Let it soak ten minutes, wipe off the excess. Stops the wood drying out.

03.

Never leave it wet.

Standing water rots the surface. After washing, dry it within sixty seconds. A board is forgiving of everything except a wet sink overnight.

What you receive

In the box.

  • The board in your chosen size, oiled and signed by the maker.
  • A small bottle of camellia oil — enough for the first few monthly treatments.
  • A care card with the wash routine and the monthly oiling reminder.
  • A linen cloth for drying.

Frequently asked.

How do I oil it?
A teaspoon of food-safe camellia or mineral oil on a soft cloth, once a month. Wipe it on, let it soak for ten minutes, wipe off the excess. That's the whole routine.
Will it warp?
Not if you dry it standing up and don't leave it in standing water. End-grain and edge-grain hardwood boards stay flat for decades when they're allowed to dry evenly on both sides.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Dishwasher heat splits wooden boards and strips the oil. Hand wash, dry within sixty seconds, oil once a month.
Can I cut raw meat on it?
Yes. Wood has natural antibacterial properties and is kinder to your edge than plastic. Wash with hot water and mild soap afterwards, as you would any board.
How long does shipping take?
UK orders usually arrive within 2–3 working days, EU and US within 5–9. We ship from our warehouse in Europe.
