If someone really cruel were to force me to pick a few inks that I was able to use for the rest of my life, this would be one of them. There's just something about it.

Gorgeous ink. another great review. I will definitely be getting a bottle.
This is the shade of pink I wanted when I bought J Herbin Rose Cyclamen and inadvertantly blinde myself and my niece with its brightness. I have Murasaki Shikibu and Yu Yake. This one will probably be the next on my list...
as soon as i saw the first image one of my all-time favourite colours sprang to mind ... j.herbin larmes de cassis! and there it is as a comparison alongside another one of my top favs, r&k alt-bordeaux. lovely colour with an impressive sheen, thanks for reviewing it for us and the colour comparisons are very helpful cheers ;)
Yes! The larmes de cassis comparison is so well-chosen. But why is it so expensive in Europe?
$20 a bottle? We can pay up to $50 a bottle here in Oz. it is a great ink though. Not sure I'd call it well behaved, but it depends on the paper. I generally use it in finer nibs to mitigate any wayward tendencies, but then that does stop that golden sheen thing happening. Your ink tasting always cracks me up. Great review. Thank you.
I can't justify a second color at this price, but I did shell out for the Yama-budo. Stunning, in the bottle and on the page.
A penpal from inCoWriMo 2015 sent me a sample of Akkerman Purple and its _really_ purple. How would you compare the "purple" above with the Ackkerman? Although this is a pretty ink, imho, appears more on the pink side then the purple. I get such a kick out of you tasting inks. I guess thats the definition of a true Gourmet?
Parkpop Purper? That's definitely more of a true purple than this is. I guess this is a purple pink? :)
It seems all Pilot things are super expensive here. It's painful and totally sucks. :(
This one is at least a little less blinding than Rose Cyclamen :)
Thanks, Kenny! It's one of the first bottles I ever bought and I still love it.
Yes thats it. :) Someday I've going to have to visit The Hague so I can visit the places that gave Ackerman inks their names.
