Until now I've only used plastic chopping boards, but this is the first time I've bought a wooden one. I had the image that wooden chopping boards were heavy. The moment I picked up the ultra-light, thin chopping board from Nitori, I didn't feel any weight, and I also liked the way it felt comfortable in my hand! It also goes well with the wood when cutting with a knife, so it doesn't slip, and I like the sound the chopping board makes when cutting. The price was reasonable, and since it was my first time, it was easy to pick up. I'll use it carefully, but I think I'll buy it again when it gets old.
