Sailor Jentle Souten
/
I talked about the Sailor Jentle Four Seasons collection here, and today I'm going to talk about Souten. It's full name is Sailor Jentle Four Seasons Souten--Azure. The bottle holds 50 ml of ink. Sailor advertises this ink as a "summer" ink.
The color...
Souten is a beautiful blue with a pink sheen. Seasonally, I would use this in the spring or summer.
When this ink is dropped on Tomoe River, you can barely see the blue through all of the pink sheen.

Sailor Jentle Sky High is the closest color to Souten.
Overall, I really like this ink. It's very wet and has a good flow. The sheen is amazing. Below is a link to where you can find this ink on Amazon.
