Bonito Shaving Box made from Hinoki Medium A Box

Carefully made by Kiso wood craftsmen, the bonito shaving box is made from straight-grained Kiso hinoki (Japanese cypress). Known for its durability and resistance to water and moisture, Kiso hinoki can be used for a long time. To create the bonito shaving box, Yamaichi uses the center dense portion of wood called the “masame” (straight grain), therefore, there is no need to worry about cracks or wood warps. 

■Details
The shaving box is both pleasing to the eye and smooth to the touch because of the parallel grain lines of straight-grained wood. Applied to the “kanna dai” (plane) is the bamboo leaved oak, known for its excellent wear resistance, and applied to the blade is the very sharp Niigata’s Yoita Uchihamano. Just like the bonito box, it comes with a lid made from Kiso hinoki which can prevent the entry of dust and helps maintain hygienic storage. Each product will have a taste of its own because they are all made from natural wood. This is a product that will last for a lifetime and will improve with continued use. Additionally, the scent of the hinoki will not spoil the rich flavor of the bonito flakes, and you can enjoy the taste of ryotei cuisine at home anytime.
