I´ve tested a lot of them and all have one in common: they just work and flow perfectly. Especially Yama-Budo and Kon-Peki are among the most forgiving inks I know, even dry nibs are no issue with those two. And of course they look amazing, I never found anything that replicates the essence of Yama-Budo. The bottles are very practical as well when there is not much ink left.

Review Title: Great fountain pen inks

The Iroshizuku inks are fantastic for their behavior in fountain pens. They do not sheen and they do not have any fancy qualities; they are just extremely reliable, smooth, and bright colored inks with just the right amount of lubrication. These are ideal for dry pens with low ink flow. My favorites are the Yamabudo (a deep crimson/wine color), Ama-iro (a light blue), Konpeki (medium blue), Yama-guri (dark sepia), Tsukushi (warm, medium brown) and fufu-gaki (a bright orange).

Review Title: Fuyu-syogun - an old man grey.

Fuyu-syogun. It’s an interesting color, very mine, has some shading, dries quickly, and has a nice wet flow. It looks better with wider nib M or B. I don’t think I’ve tried a Pilot Iroshizuku ink I didn’t like.

The color even though is a bit too flat for my liking, it flows extremely well in almost every pen i use. Highly recommended

Asa Gao is my favorite blue ink, never dries and color is perfect.
I even prefer it over the more popular Kon Peki.

Very fluid ink. The nib glides wonderfully smoothly over the page. The color is beautiful, with a very saturated tone.

Review Title: Pilot Iroshizuku syun-gyo ink

Pilot Iroshizuku syun-gyo ink is not actually black, but a very dark brown. Browns come in different colors, this one is reddish, but it is so dark that you can't feel the redness when writing normally. The ink is fluid. If you draw, it goes well with Pilot Iroshizuku to-ro ink.
I like this ink.

Pilot iroshizuku hana ikada ink is a true solid pink, but soft and reads perfectly. The cartridge is very practical, beautiful and discreet. As always with Appelboom, the package comes very well wrapped.

Ik ben super blij met deze inkt! Ik heb de kleur chiku-rin besteld en het is een hele mooie licht felgroene kleur, tijdens het schrijven is er ook een mooie variatie van licht en donker. Het is gewoon heel leuk om met deze inkt te schrijven :)

This ink is a luxurious experience. The packaging and the weight of the bottle is very beautiful. It feels ceremonial to refill my pen. The ink flows beautifully in my new Visconti, the pigment is very even, there are none of those mottled lines that fade in and out from too faint to puddled...completely even from beginning to end. The color is amazing, really beautiful, a bit more pink than I could tell from samples on my monitor but this was a welcome surprise. It's a red/orange/pink color. I would definitely order more colors from the Iroshizuku line. A very high quality product.

I received a beautifully wrapped bottle of this ink as a gift, which was purchased at Appelboom. I have not used this ink before. This ink in the color kon-peki writes very pleasantly, is quite wet and dries nicely. I am definitely going to use other colors of Iroshizuku ink.

Ordered ink, which arrived promptly and well packaged. Even gift wrapped, the personal touch. Also been in their shop. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great range of products. The ink we ordered was good, although darker than expected. Pilot inks seem to work the best in my fussy flex pen. Highly recommend this ink

Review Title: Ama Iro / Sky Blue

• Review Add on: 14-05-2019

I got this ink for a stub nib. It is a light color blue, similar to the light blue sky. This is definitely a light color, although it is a solid blue without any green in it. It might be too light with a fine or even medium nib. Shading is good, although I experienced some feathering even on Rhodia R paper. A nice ink for the summer! Iroshizuku inks are some of the best in terms of colors, however, they aren't waterproof.

Review Title: The best

This ink became my number one choice now. Beside the amazing color selection the flow of the ink is great. I previously had a hard start issue with my Montblanc 149 &146 when using Montblanc ink. This ink improved this issue significantly. Also the beautiful bottle design is looking great setting on my disk which adds to the ritual of filling my ink which is part of the whole experience of using a fountain pen.

Review Title: Iroshizuku Asa Gao

• Review Add on: 13-10-2018

The ink colour (Asa Gao) is a very bright blue colour. The blue colour is bold and is very suitable for hand writing notes at work. The Iroshizuku inks work very well with pens from Japanese manufacturers: Pilot/Sailor/Platinum. Flow is great and should perform well all fountain pens. The glass bottle is solid and has a useful dip at the bottom to assist with extraction of ink when the volume ink the bottle is low. You can't go wrong with the Iroshizuku inks.
