INK REVIEW: Sailor Jentle Yama-dori

Sailor Jentle Yama-dori Fountain Pen Ink Review



I generally try to avoid reading much about inks before I have the opportunity to try them for myself. I want my opinion to definitely be my own and not influenced by others as much as possible.

That was impossible with Yama-dori. This ink has superstar status over on Fountain Pen Network. Even before the ink was re-released, there was chatter about how amazing it is – it sheens, it shades, it’s perfect! Gotta get me some of that!

I got mine from JetPens with pennies from my own piggy bank. It’s listed at $20 there. Looks like it can be had for a buck or two less at some other online stores.

There are things I really like about Yama-dori. It sheens, it shades, it flows really well. It passed the smear and highlight tests with flying colors.

Yama-dori is my E.T. of inks. Let me explain . . .

Waaaay back when the movie E.T. (you know, the Extra-Terristrial) came out in theaters, it was the Must See movie. OMG, gotta see it. What, you haven’t seen it?  You don’t know what you’re missing!  Best. Movie. Ever.

The build-up was just so much that there was practically no way the E.T. was going to meet my expectations. And it didn’t. I mean, it was ok.

And that’s kind of where I am with Yama-dori. It’s good. It’s nice. I like it. But am I coco-crazy-go-nutters for it?  Nah.

I’ll be back tomorrow (a rare Tuesday post!) with more show and tell on Yama-dori.  (How is that for a tease?)

In the meantime, check out the full review (click here for the full-size image – it’s huge), and tell me what you think.  Do you love Yama-dori?  Do you have an E.T. ink?

  1. I have noticed that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in most real estate exchange, a commission rate is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers do not “save” the commission payment. Rather, they try to win the commission by doing the agent’s task. In accomplishing this, they invest their money and also time to execute, as best they could, the jobs of an broker. Those tasks include exposing the home by way of marketing, representing the home to buyers, making a sense of buyer urgency in order to prompt an offer, scheduling home inspections, controlling qualification assessments with the lender, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing.

  2. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say excellent blog!

  3. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. appreciate it

  4. Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!

  5. Thanks for the ideas you discuss through this website. In addition, numerous young women who seem to become pregnant do not even try and get health insurance because they worry they probably would not qualify. Although a few states currently require that insurers supply coverage no matter the pre-existing conditions. Fees on most of these guaranteed options are usually greater, but when considering the high cost of health care it may be a new safer approach to take to protect your own financial potential.

  6. Thank you for sharing most of these wonderful threads. In addition, the perfect travel and medical insurance approach can often ease those concerns that come with touring abroad. A medical crisis can quickly become costly and that’s sure to quickly place a financial impediment on the family finances. Setting up in place the best travel insurance deal prior to leaving is worth the time and effort. Thanks
