People often ask us “What is the best fountain pen ink” and we always answer Iroshizuku. Iroshizuku is the ink we use to test out pens in the store. The ink is very lubricating and very rich in color, which means even in the finest nibs you get the best writing experience.

The bottle is made from a sturdy glass and features a well at the bottom to get every last drop.

The nameIroshizukuis a combination of the Japanese wordsIro (Coloring),expressing high standards and variation of colors, andShizuku (Droplet),that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.
