I made this video quite a while ago and then never made it public, but people seem to be finding it anyway (I did share it, and it's in a playlist, so I guess that's enough). So... now it's public!
Sorry, everyone... I didn't mean to make it look like this was a new video. It's almost a year old... I just didn't know how to make it public without drawing attention to it.
Hahah would you kindly get me a pressed maple leaf? Always wanted one from Japan... /s One day I hope to go myself, been studying the language for a while. @@thewetpen
@@Tea_Mist I think that US Customs frowns upon that sort of thing ;-) If I go to Mino Falls again, though, I'll get you a deep fried maple leaf... that won't carry the next Asian chestnut blight
Oof don't think that one is going to survive the trip, my friend. Hahaha Either way, I wish you and yours a safe trip! Enjoy it for all of us. @@thewetpen
I ordered it through the rakuten store and my terrible Japanese was barely enough to get a follow up email for confirmation but jyako purple is my daily driver ink ever since. They never restocked the non rakuten website when I was looking so I'm happy my rakuten seller was so nice.
Thanks big spender; more international opportunities to deplete assets. FYI, I’ve received and swatched my bottle of Deception Bay ink, going down wet in typical “Gore blue,” but happy to note it eventually dried in a more pronounced green-blue, something more to my liking. Now get cracking on earth tone and grey ink development. 🙏😆
Glad to hear that it arrived safely! Out of the hundreds that I shipped, only three reports of bottles that broke in transit so far... and two of them were delivered lass than 10 miles away.
Thanks very much for the helpful information! Tried several browsers and found Microsoft Edge to be the best option for me. The 10k yen limit does cause a wrinkle. Had to make my purchase in two orders because when over 10k yen, the system will not process shipping to the United States. Hope this helps!
Ahh, I thought that the free shipping might be tricky. Thanks for the info :-) I haven't tried Edge, but Chrome has worked well for me, with the automatic translation. I'll have to check and see how Edge works one of these days.
Thanks for your video. I actually tried to order from the same webpage and selected Paypal but even Paypal added my address ( in California) it did not take the address.
Ahh, I'm sorry to hear that. With the favorable Dollar-Yen rates at the moment, I've been thinking about ordering more of these, so I'll have to look into it. Incidentally, this video is un-listed... how did you find it?
@@thewetpen No worries. I looked at their English site today and the inks are all sold out, that might be the issue. I will check their site out later. I found your video ( this one) while watching one of your other videos and it was on the right side of the screen where all the videos shown. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you as always for this helpful video! Cheers!
My pleasure :-) I'm heading back to Japan next week, so I'm going through a lot of my old videos to try to get organized!

I just tried it, and the website was not there.
I just visited it and it IS there, so maybe you had a temporary connection problem or something. Here's the address: www.mitaclub.co.jp/
Bummer....couldnt load the site 🤷🏻♀️
Weird. A couple people have said that, but each time I try, it's still there and working. Try again and let me know! www.mitaclub.co.jp/
