With all the travel restrictions, ordering ink from overseas, makes all pen/ink shopping temptations much more easier

I ordered some samples for Europe.... I'm still waiting for them to arrives, and that was early January 

Good point.  Winter is a complete deterrent for me - I tried it once, never again!

For me, the search ended at another Kobe ink, Minatogawa Lime......   

Ooooh...that's VERY floral...plant-like!
But more flat than I'm looking for...reminds me of a darker P.I. Shin-Ryoku.

It's beautiful.  Not flat at all.  Very vibrant and with a glorious sheen.....

It's so unflat it's almost mountainous! Loads of shade and sheen and fantastic colour range - it's one of my favourite mid-greens. 

 

It's a completely different colour family to Shin Ryoku, which looks almost teal next to it.

Glad I'm not the only one!

We're such enablers! 😊

Well, you guys went and did it...
Now I have to add this one to the list to try too...lol.
See what you've done...another ink the wife is going to shake her head and suck her teeth about.
For shame!
🤣

P.S. 💓 you guys ROCK!!

I know the feeling!    But somehow I don't think you'll regret it.....

The ink does not interest me, but I love "It's so unflat it's almost mountainous."

Horses for courses, I guess.  It's not an ink I use all the time, but I do ink a pen up with it when I want to feel the pleasure of using a really vibrant (and mountainous!) green.  It is one of the few bottles of ink that I've actually finished and replaced in the last couple of years.

Oh wooooooow....that says a LOT right there!
I've only ever come close to finishing off my bottles of Pilot Iroshizuku - Shin Ryoku and Tsukushi.
But that's mainly because I test every pen build with them...they're reliable and always work.
If they don't work in a pen, I know the pen has a problem. 😛
Like my most recent build...the feed and housing in that pen are trash.
I know it...because the pilot inks don't flow reliably.

Thanks for the review.

 

Looks nice green colour ink and properties are big plus here. Might consider it when hunting green.

 

As for name....well lets say its quite nice for me, at least it is green when it says green.........never imagined I would say this.

You're very welcome!

 

And yes, aptly named.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 270µm.
