My swatches read warmer and rosier than that. The written line is a dusty rose-brown with a clear pink undertone, not a neutral tan.

There's a clear light-to-dark range in the swab and visible variation in normal writing.

The museum opened in Kobe's port district in 2021 and collects chocolate packaging from around the world, and Kobe itself has a long history of chocolatiers and Western confectionery. Nagasawa describes the ink as mellow and soothing, meant for writing everyday thank-yous. It has two sister shades, Bitter Chocolate and Strawberry Chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kobe \/ Nagasawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266211029318,"sku":"INK-015","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/Kobe-MilkChocolate3.jpg?v=1789845550","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/kobe-nagasawa-milk-chocolate","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
