Looking forward to using this as the ink for autumn 🍂

Always good.

This Iroshizuku Yu-yake is the usual well behaved ink. Its perfect for fall, but I bought it to match my new Smart Phone case. Then I bought an Edison pen to also match. This is the first orange ink I've really relished. The read-back is very good with a M nib.

This ink is gorgeous, especially with a medium+ nib that shows off the natural shading. The color is rusty but bright, like a sweet potato more than anything! Very visible, unlike some of the lighter inks, and a truly unique color. Excellent even flow and the finest bottle on the market.

Flows great and now my go to ink.

Fast shipping. Thank you.

This ink was an impulse purchase to coordinate with a new pen. A pleasant orange, a bit dirty so less bright than I anticipated. Minimal feathering on 'pedestrian' papers with decent shading characteristic. Color is richer on better quality paper stock.

Very pleasant ink. Well-behaved. It's a very pleasing complement to one of the blue or turquoise shades, I'm using it as title/lining/secondary color in a bullet journal and it's perfect for that, while being different from the normal red ink I'd have used before.

I splurged and got this to go along with the orange Diplomat Aero (M nib) that I bought at the same time. It's my first orange ink, and my first Pilot ink. I thought it would be a fun ink to have around and to go with the pen but it wouldn't get regular use. But as soon as I started using it, OMG it is absolutely beautiful. It has just enough pop but is a really sophisticated shade of orange, not shouty or over the top at all. Now I'm looking for any excuse to use it! The bottle is stunning, and overall while this is a fairly expensive ink I think it's actually a relative bargain considering how top tier everything is. Will definitely be looking at some of the other Pilot inks!

I bought this ink to use in my new Laban 325 fountain pen in Sun color and it matches perfectly! These inks are so vibrant and wet and flow nicely onto paper. I highly recommend this ink!

Great color, great bottle, great experience. Depending on the light it can look slightly red, but overall a great looking ink.

I love this ink. It's a gorgeous orange hue and dries fairly quickly. I definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a good orange ink. And as always, the iroshizuku bottle is presentation quality.

muy buena la tinta. Me gust� mucho Gracias

Very nice ink a little bit hard to read if you use it in bigger texts, but after all very nice.

I'm still new to fountain pens so this may be on me. I love the color and it flows well paired with my Edison Nouveau with a 1.1 stub but the pen/ink combo gives off a strong turpentine like smell.

I've been very pleased with this ink. I love orange in general, and this yu-yake is a wonderful addition to my collection! It is a very easy ink to use in terms of dry time and uniform application, and the dry time is quick.

I absolutely love this ink! It's a beautiful orange color, a smooth, wet ink that has lovely shading. The bottle is also beautiful. This ink is pretty in the bottle and on paper!

I have several pens that are finicky about the ink I use. Most troublesome are 2 Omas pens,which only liked Omas ink. This is a problem since Omas is out of business. I bought 3 bottles (different colors) of Pilot Iroshizuku ink and all have performed beautifully. Problem solved.

Currently my favorite ink! Beautiful shading: even on poor school paper I can see a lighter yellow/ orange all the way to a burnt orange! Prefer over Noodler's Apache Sunset! Highly recommend! If concerned with purchasing a new bottle, try a sample!

Yu-Yake ink adds to the distinctive quality of my writing because it's an unusual orange color which, on white paper, can accurately be described as radiant. It's a very pleasing effect. The ink seems to dry darker than it first appears when written. The ink dries relatively slowly, and that appears to be due to a combination of inherent drying time of the ink and the relative wetness of the FA nib of my Pilot 912 pen. Contrast between the orange ink and the white paper is not as great as with typical blue ink, but it's sufficient for easy reading, though I prefer greater contrast for extended reading sessions. Some of the pictures I've seen of this ink suggest that it's rather yellow, but that is not what I see in my case. It's a deep rich orange, which would seem brown if it were any darker.With Rhodia note pads, the ink does not show through the paper any more than other fountain pen inks that I use. The nib on my pen accentuates shading-- transitions of lighter or darker ink within the lines. It's a pleasing effect, and it's one of the attributes that I was looking for when selecting this ink.

I chose Yu-yake for editing/grading student work. My only concern at the time of purchase was would the color be too bright and an eye sore? The answer....absolutely NOT. Great shading, even on cheap student paper. Great hue, not screaming off the page but definitely drawing attention. Rich, deep, bright and professional. Highly recommend!

This ink is great. I have been using it in my Lamy Studio with different nibs for a couple weeks now. It flows well through find and medium nibs as well as stubs. Less professional but way more fun than black or blue.

I've been looking around at orange inks for a while. I'm a University of Texas alumni and orange is absolutely my favorite color. I've got just about most relevant orange inks like Noodlers Apache Sunset and Private Reserve Orange Crush. I think Yu-Yake has a hair more advantage over Apache Sunset. Yeah, it's way more expensive, but it flows a bit easier. I've got in my Omas Ogiva stub and it's pleasure on paper. Don't be fooled... just like Apache Sunset, it goes on lighter and drys darker. It shades well, but has no sheen. Again, it's an Iroshizuku ink, so it always has a consistent behavior . It's not really Texas Burnt Orange... Then again I haven't found and ink that's exactly that color. This comes close and if I pen letters to other people I graduated with, this will be my ink of choice.Most people are happy with A. Sunset....but I'm gonna stick with this one for a while. If you don't love orange or just need an orange ink, I'm not sure I would recommend plopping down a ton of money for this bottle.

I bought this ink a month or so ago and inked it up in my platinum nice with a fine nib (which is actually super fine). I don't have experience with other inks of the same color, so I don't really have a comparison. But I love iroshizuku inks, so to me, that isn't a problem. The performance of the ink is fantastic, in line with all of the other inks in the pilot line-up. I very much like how the ink appears differently on different papers (like most inks I own). On more absorbent paper (I use leuchtturm), it really has a darker hue to it. But on less absorbent paper (I use midori MD), it certainly is lighter, almost having yellow accents to it. It shades well on both papers for me, which is a bonus. Overall, I am very pleased that I chose this one!

Was initially nervous about writing with this ink, as a whole page of this ink could be overwhelming, but it's not. It's a great color and I would surely order it again.

I could tell it was a beautiful color even though I still had some of the previous color in the pen, by mistake of course. I have just purchased a flex nib and waiting to see its true colors. I will repost as soon as I try it out.

They made me buy it! On my first order the fella who packed the shipment wrote his personal note to me with this ink. As soon as I saw the ink I fell in love. It is my daily writer and has been for about 2 months now, maybe 3. I still love it as much today as I did the moment I saw it on the handwritten note. I have it in the Noodler Ahab Flex and a Jinhao trainer pen that I like the feel of in my hand. It write beautifully, and I absolutely love it.

This ink draws out the poet in me. It's like liquid sunset. Awesome shading, flows great, the bottle is beautiful... Really, the only thing I could complain about os the price, but it's totally worth it. Highly recommended!

Excellent performance and shading. And of course an awesome bottle. The Yellow/orange color is readable and good for all but business use.

To my eyes, an orange darkened with a hint of red/brown. Writes beautifully and smoothly. The glass bottle is also quite substantial and stable and looks nice on my desk.
