Ink Review #1323: Sailor Manyo Yomogi

Sailor Manyo Yomogi is the last ink up for review from the first Manyo collection. I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet.

The color:

Yomogi is a medium teal blue.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks more green.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Show through: Medium

Other properties: medium shading, medium pink sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering and a little bit of bleeding in all nib sizes.

Yomogi is more blue than Sailor Jentle Yama-dori. Click here to see the Sailor inks together, and click here to see the teal inks together.

Longer writing:

I used an Edison Beaumont Unicorn with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a wet flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink. It’s generally well-behaved and so pretty too!
