The super expensive Yu-Sari arrived today and I checked it out with:

Namiki Shogun<F> Iroshizuku Asa-Gao

Lenardo Furore<M> Iroshzuku Ajaisai

Leonardo MZ<F> Edelstein Sapphire

At $0.57 per A5 sheet, save your money, it's unimpressive with colors and it feathers with commonly used inks.  Although not for everybody, Cosmo Snow and Iroful blow it away at $0.105 and $0.14 per sheet.  Tomoe River-S comes in at $0.085 per sheet and Kokuyo KB is $0.02 per sheet.                      

- YMMV -

  Wow, for dry Edelstein Sapphire to feather like that is crazy!  They touted this as a next level fountain pen paper. I have to look back and see what  my results were. 

Top 5 of 26 (in no particular order) currently inked pens:

Sailor 🐧 Mini Pro Gear Slim M, Van Dieman’s Neptune’s Necklace 

MontBlanc 144R F, Diamine Bah Humbug

Pelikan M605 F, Pelikan Edelstein Moonstone

Waterman Caréne Black Sea, Teranishi Lady Emerald

Pilot 742 FA, Namiki Purple cartridge
