The Shokunin Pro ("Master Artisan" in Japanese) is our largest traditional rectangular shou sugi ban cutting board. At 17.72" x 9.84" with full straight edges, this board provides maximum usable surface area for serious home chefs who demand restaurant-quality tools. Unlike the Kura (same length but with rounded end), the Shoku Pro's straight edges give you corner-to-corner prep space. When you're cooking complex recipes or preparing for guests, every square inch matters. Perfect for: ✓ Professional home cooking ✓ Large meal prep sessions ✓ Holiday cooking (Thanksgiving turkey carving) ✓ Multiple dishes simultaneously ✓ Sunday batch cooking ✓ Culinary enthusiast workflows ✓ Teaching and demonstration Why size matters for serious cooks: The 17.72" x 9.84" dimensions provide 174 square inches of prep surface—35% more than standard boards. When you're working through complex recipes, this extra space means fewer interruptions, better organization, and more efficient cooking. This is the board for people who take their cooking seriously. Built for those who cook like they mean it...
