Wet, well lubricated and beautiful colours. I never have any problem with them in any of my pens. Highly recommended.

Classic premium Pilot ink. Very vibrant and some sheen on Midori paper.

Had no issues with any of my pens. Decently wet and easy to clean.

Ik kocht last bij Appelboom Kiri-same en Fuyo-syugun.Twee grijze inkten, maar een wereld van verschil. De eerste is warmgrijs - er zit heel iets bruin door, en de andere koelgrijs, blauwig. Ik vind de kleuren van Pilot Iroshizuku inkten uniek en ze gedragen zich goed in praktisch iedere vulpen. Deze kleine potjes zijn in verhouding duurder, maar erg leuk als je meerdere kleuren wilt proberen.

Review Title: Amazing grey

I've never been a grey ink lover, but Kiri-same changed my mind completely. It's a unique shade of grey with a subtle warm tint, quite different from any other grey inks you can find. The color may seem plain at the first glance, but the chromatography reveals its true complexity: a mixture of cool grey, orange, and pink. I am very happy that I bought this ink, and I'm planning to get a whole bottle.

Review Title: In My Experience the bluest 'sea blue'

Pilot Irohsizuku was an ink type I wanted to try as Pilot inks have a good reputation and the Iroshizuku line has a lot of beautiful ink saturations available.
Before I went all in on the Fountainpen hobby my go-to blue(black) was Parker Quink in either Blue or BlueBlack, the "Shin-Kai" saturation of Pilot Iroshizuku falls between these Parker saturations. It's darker blue than Parker Blue whilst being truly blue, unlike Parker BlueBlack.

Currently I have "Shin-Kai" paired to a Kaweco Sport Collection "Mellow Blue" with M-nib and it pairs like a dream, performance on Rhodia and Kokuyo papers is great without any issues.

Pilot Iroshizuku is (from my point of the hobby) a more expensive type of ink, that said the price is reasonable for the saturation accuracy you get from this line of Pilot inks.

The Pilot Iroshizuki ink also doesn't show through Rhodia papers as where Parker Quink (BlueBlack) does.

Review Title: Tsutsuji - My Favorite Iroshizuku Ink

• Review Add on: 10-01-2023

I bought a sample of the ink (from another retailer) and inked my transparent blue TWSBI Eco 1.1 stub. Even before writing, I couldn’t stop staring at my pen. The bright pink ink in the clear barrel contrasted beautifully with the pen’s transparent blue cap and end cap. Then I wrote and fell in love with the ink! The ink is so bright (almost neon pink) and smooth. I’ve also inked my Platinum Preppy (F). The ink is so vibrant and saturated, it should work in nibs of all widths (including extra fine). In heavy swatches there is a slight gold sheen. Tsutsuji is my favorite Iroshizuku ink. I love the 15mL bottle size. Appelboom is one of the few (or only?) US retailer that offers the 15mL bottle for individual sale. I love Tsutsuji so much that I may consider getting the larger 50mL bottle when I finish the 15mL bottle (hopefully Pilot doesn’t discontinue this color).

Tested in a Pilot Capless, Broad nib.

I've been curious about the Pilot inks for a while and this is my first purchase.

Color: dark blue with a hint of green.

Drying time: the ink is a bit wetter than the two other inks I use in this pen (Waterman Mysterious Blue and Akkerman Passage Blue). As a result, the ink writes very smoothly, but the drying time seems to be slightly longer. I tested this on standard office paper and Rhodia 80GSM paper.

Shading: Medium

Sheen: none at writing

Flow: very good

A very pleasant color that is easy to read. The ink is certainly office-friendly but still has a character of its own. Comes in a small but attractive bottle.

Wet ink with a bit of shading but not as much as I would have liked.

Very deep shade of pink/violet. Not for the faint of heart
