Ink Review #1252: Robert Oster Sushi

Robert Oster Sushi is a lovely bright pink. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Pen Chalet (aff. link) and Vanness Pens.

The color:

Sushi is a medium bubblegum pink with a slight coral tone.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks more pink, less coral.

Longer writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Sparkling Pink with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink. I do wish it had a little bit more shading, but I still love it even without a lot of shading. I think I will reach for this ink most often in the springtime.
