Many fans of the A5-size Studio Note have found it a bit too large for everyday carry - indeed, lugging it in a briefcase, purse or tote can be tiresome over the length of a long walk or commute on the subway, and it seems to make sense to use it mainly in an office or studio setting.
But what if relaxing, people-watching, doodling, or creating your latest masterpiece in the warm, convenient atmosphere of your favorite cafe is daily necessity? Or if you're the more adventurous type, perhaps you need something portable, along the lines of a Grail Diary, to document your pursuit of the arcane, holy or downright supernatural, in a quest to save the world?
To those ends, we've created this "Cafe" -sized version of the Studio Note, with the standard "shinsho"* book dimensions of 110x176mm (about 4x7 inches) and 384 pages. It's a modern size, very slightly larger than the Grail Diary, except with more and presumably better quality pages.
The result is a much slimmer format that's half the weight of the A5 Studio Note (216 grams vs 426 grams) and 3mm thinner (12mm vs. 15mm). The impression is that it's much more portable, far less bulky, and easier to carry. And, compared to the larger A5-series books, the cover is a bit thinner, more flexible and thus easier to fan through the pages.
But wait, there's more! Since the shipping weight is 360 grams or 12.9 ounces, a single book can be shipped within the USA via USPS First Class mail (under 15oz), which can be nearly half the cost (depending on where you want it delivered) than Priority Mail!

* "Shinsho" is the 2nd most popular** book size in Japan, also known as "Slim B6". Shinsho books are primarily non-fiction.
** "Bunko", or A6, is the most popular size - mainly used for fiction. The Hobonichi Techo is A6-size.
The Shinsho and Bunko sizes were created for rail commuters that spend a lot of time standing in trains and hanging out in cafes between trains or after work.

B6 Slim
Posted by Paula Salazar on 30th Aug 2019
I really wanted the A6 but they were sold out so I grabbed a B6 Slim. I love everything about this notebook and the paper is wonderful! Shipping time was really good too! I’m still holding out hope for an A6 soon but if I have to switch to B6, for this quality of notebook I would!

The perfect size!
Posted by Manda on 4th Aug 2019
How have I missed out on this size before? I really want to journal a minimum of one page a day, but I have struggled with doing this in other notebooks. The A5 pages are too big. A6 seems too small. This B6 slim size is JUST RIGHT. it’s small enough that I don’t have trouble or feel overwhelmed filling a page, but I don’t feel bad if I decide to write more than a page.
The paper is amazing, and my fountain pens work great. I kept a page in the back for pen testing purposes, but I intend to use only/mostly fountain pens. Nothing has bled through yet, and I love how the written pages feel. I’m also grateful for the perfectly sized blotter page that is included. A genius feature. :)
My only complaint is that I wish the lined version was in stock, because my handwriting is a little big for the grid. I have to use about a line and a half, or two lines, to write, and then I skip a line in between so the writing is not so crammed together. I want to get a couple more - one to keep in my purse as a food log/health log and one just for backup. Great notebooks!

Absolutely perfect!

I was so happy when I saw this version was full grid. That, along with the Tomoe River Paper, and the quality of this notebook, makes it absolutely perfect for journaling, note taking, or bullet journaling.
