Tsubame Memo Pad A5 - Plain or Grid

Tsubame Note has been making notebooks in Tokyo since 1947, founded by Watanabe Hatsusaburō, and its paper is especially prized by fountain pen users — smooth enough to write on comfortably, with just enough tooth to keep ink from skating, and excellent bleed resistance. In 2012, Tsubame Note won the Good Design Long Life Design Award, a category recognizing products that have stayed relevant and well-made over decades.

This A5 memo pad carries that same paper into an everyday format — soft, off-white sheets bound to lie flat, made for quick daily notes rather than long-term keeping. Available in plain or grid. Made in Japan.
