Bring the colors of summer to your dining table along with the sounds of summer festivals.
We recommend the "Japanese zelkova" (Keyaki) as the birth tree for August.

Keyaki is a tree characterized by its strong and beautiful grain, and its warm appearance that deepens with use. It has long been used for the bodies of Japanese drums, and has been chosen as the birth tree for August, the season of festivals.

Each piece, with its unique and rich grain, will add a special touch to your daily meals and dining table.

Somaé's Zelkova

Somaé cutting boards are crafted to bring out the unique grain and color of each piece of wood.

The strong, flowing grain, characteristic of zelkova wood, adds a rich expression to your dining table simply by presenting food on it. Even cool dishes, such as fresh summer vegetables and fruits, or somen noodles with various condiments, become strikingly impressive.

Chop, serve, and share directly from it.
In the everyday kitchen, it serves as a reliable cutting board, and at the dining table, it enhances your culinary creations. As you use it, it will acquire a beautiful luster, developing the deep character unique to zelkova wood.

    Care Instructions

    • Dry thoroughly, leaving no moisture behind.

      After use, remove all moisture and dirt, and store after thoroughly drying. If moisture, dirt, or humidity remains on the metal parts, it may cause rust or deterioration.

    • Do not leave submerged in water

      Do not soak in water. When wood absorbs moisture, it can cause swelling, warping, cracking, discoloration, and deterioration of the finish.
