Yamamoto Paper: Paper Tasting Kit [6 paper types]

£8.99

Have you ever wanted to try Yamamoto's paper products before committing to a full notebook? Well, there's a 'Paper Tasting' set for that. Much like sampling fine wines, this unique set allows you to experience and compare three carefully selected types of paper, each with its own distinctive qualities. Each set includes detailed descriptions in both English and Japanese, offering insight into the characteristics of each paper.

The set contains three pads of 25 sheets for a total of 75 sheets altogether, giving you ample space to experiment with your favourite pens and inks. Each pad is neatly held together by a reusable binder clip for added convenience. 

Perfect for stationery enthusiasts and writers alike, Yamamoto's paper tasting sets offer a sophisticated and tactile experience, inviting you to find the perfect match for your writing style.

To help you choose the right paper for your writing instruments, the packaging features clear symbols:

  • 〇 Suitable
  • ▲ Moderately suitable
  • X Not suitable


The conversation behind the idea
“Japanese notebooks are so pen friendly and there are so many types of great paper. How can I learn more about them? Where do I begin?” This product was born from such a conversation with a friend living abroad. "Paper tasting" is a collection of writing pads, expressly to let you try different kinds of papers and enjoy the pleasure of writing on them. Like wine tasting, you will be able to find your favourite pairing of pen and paper, or even pencil and paper. Each package comes with a short description of the included papers, along with a classification table that will show you how the papers fit into the broader landscape of Japanese paper categories. It is like having your very own paper sommelier!
