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. An interesting dialogue is price comment. I believe that you need to write more on this matter, it won’t be a taboo subject but usually persons are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  2. I learned more interesting things on this fat loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is highly vital whenever dieting. A massive reduction in bad foods, sugary foods, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and white flour products may be necessary. Possessing wastes organisms, and poisons may prevent targets for fat-loss. While specific drugs briefly solve the situation, the terrible side effects will not be worth it, and in addition they never supply more than a momentary solution. It is a known idea that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this site.

  3. Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this excellent site. What I would tell people is to give up a mentality they will buy currently and pay out later. Like a society we all tend to try this for many factors. This includes vacation trips, furniture, along with items we wish. However, you have to separate your own wants out of the needs. While you are working to boost your credit score actually you need some sacrifices. For example it is possible to shop online to save cash or you can check out second hand merchants instead of high priced department stores pertaining to clothing.

  4. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  5. I’m curious to find out what blog system you have been using? I’m having some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any solutions?
