This is probably my favorite ink. Works well in every pen I put it in. Beautiful shading for a darker ink. Sometimes I mix it with a little Iroshizuku Shin-Kai, just to dull the color down a little. I’ve been thinking of mixing it with other Iroshizuku colors, like that gold Ina Ho, for an olive green, or even reds and purples for some interesting grays. I had to choose one ink to use for the rest of my life, it would be this one.
I keep finding that I like the Irshizuku in all colors. The write so well and have great colors. No shading or sheen to speak of but great saturation. A high saturation with good writing feel is more what I am enjoying lately. Have a blessed week
I haven't come across an Iroshizuku ink that didn't perform well. Sailor inks are also good, but I've found that some of them can be a little more difficult to clean out of a pen than my Iroshizuku inks. I'm also liking Monteverde inks lately... You have a blessed week also Michael!
Greetings fr Malaysia. I totally agree with you Kathy. The Iroshizuku inks are quite saturated,wet but fast drying & easy to clean, but they are on the higher priced inks. I am using for work the Asa-gao,Kon-peki & added the Tsuyu-kusa lately,apart from the standard Pilot Blue & Baystate Blue. Some of them are relatively water resistant. The Sailors are also good but like you said,some are a pain to clean. I also like some Diamine & Monteverdes. As usual,your videos are great & informative. Thank you !
Nice review. I can tell you're from Brad Dowdy country with the pen/pin pronunciation! One thing about Pilot inks I also love is how they feel to write with. There's something so satisfying about how they put down ink.
I totally get what you mean about Platinum 3776 nibs having a light pencil lead type feedback. Yet, they somehow manage to also keep them quite smooth. I love it! Definitely my favourite nibs.
Pilot nibs are my favorite, but Platinum gold nibs are up there in the top three. I think Platinum and Sailor nibs are tied for second. However, I have to give Platinum first place for prettiest nib.
I just bought a 50ml bottle of the Iroshizuku Bordeaux , its like a dark wine purple, very different shades with each pen I try it with. My favourite is with my old Lamy 86 W 14k broad nib.
I don't have a Pilot Cm nib anymore, it was on a Pilot Metropolitan Green retro pop and I gave the pen and nib away and have regretted doing that ever since. I have the B nibs but they are not the same. I have ordered a couple of Bock 1.5 stub nibs from Beaufort inks here in the UK after seeing how great your 1.5 wrote. The ink you used was great with all those different sized nibs. I use Clairfontaine paper as it cheap and easy to get here. The inks I use at the moment are Pilot blue-black, Diamine Ancient Copper and Seitz Krueznach Palm Green. The latter shades beautifully almost to black with a 1.5 stub nib.
@@gadgetstop321They are shaped like the Waterman's bottle so when they get low you can lay them over and angle the pen to get to the ink. The easiest bottle is the clever Pilot 70ml rounded bottle with the miser fill system to get a fill when they very low. With the lid safely screwed down yo turn the bottle upside down and then turn it back upright. When you unscrew the lid, the special little plastic insert is full enough for you to get a fill.
Hi Kate! How do feel about Tsuki Yo in comparison to Yama Dori ? These two are my favourites blue-greens that are closer to blue than green. I think I like Yama Dori a bit more because it has a much more beautiful shading than Tsuki Yo.
That's a tough decision. I think I like Yamadori more for fine nibs, because I prefer highly saturated inks in fine nibs. I like Tsuki-yo in medium nibs because it shows off the beautiful shading, but I also really like writing with it in a Pilot fine nib. I've noticed that the more inks I try, the harder it is to pick a favorite. I don't even have a favorite brand anymore!
Hi Richard! Tsuki-yo is my favourite blue. But I've discovered with both my fountain pens and now with ink that most of the time, whatever pen or ink I'm using at the time, it's my favorite. Currently I'm using the Pilot 78G+ demonstrator with fine nib and Tsuki-yo...and I love it!
Happy Holidays, Angus! I knew you would think Tsuki-yo was too wet. It's bordering on being too wet for my taste, but I love the color and I have a pen that writes a bit dry but works well with Tsuki-yo. 😀

This is one of my top favorite inks. So beautiful and deep.
This review is so helpful. You sold me on this ink. Thank you!
You're welcome, Gloria!

I really like Iroshizyku inks, my favorite is the asa-gao blue. Excellent Video!
Asa-Gao was one of my early favorites. It's a beautiful color, but still practical for use in a variety circumstances.

I've never used a Seitz Kreuznach ink but I like the look of Palm Green. How easy are the bottles to fill from?

I'm a big fan of Tsuki-Yo. Thanks for review!

Like the look of tsuki-yo in Pilot78g EF - glad I bought a 15ml bottle of this:)
I prefer most dark blue inks in EF and F nibs, but Tsuki-yo is a darkish blue ink that I enjoy in all nib sizes, so it's a favorite of mine as well. 😀
See what you mean about tsuki-yo: it is a very appealing colour - love shin-kai but tsuki-yo is quite different but also highly appealing
I have watched enough of your videos that I corrected you out loud whe you said "pilot 38 G"
I automatically said "78G+"
Too funny
LOL! At least I caught myself this time. I hate it when I actually write something completely crazy and don't even catch it.
@@gadgetstop321 ^Too funny
Tsuki-yo(月夜) means moonlight night.🌕
That's a good name for this ink. Thanks for the translation!
Did someone say Tsuki-Yo? My favourite’ist ink ever. lol. Inks are good but tsuki-yo is betterer! 😂

give me a scritchy scratchy Platinum nib any day(found tsuki-yo too wet for my use, prefer shin-kai:)

@@gadgetstop321 totally love tsuki yo - Pilot can’t go wrong imho!:) this is a lovely, slightly wet ink, imho!:)
😇🩷🙏🙌

Your inks all have silly names!
One of the things I love about fountain pen ink is the creative names.
