Nanami's Cafe Note in "B6 Slim" has arrived! This is the 7mm Rule version. This one is bound with Sanzen Tomoe River paper.
Sometimes it is available on Amazon Prime.
Many fans of the A5-size SSW (Seven Seas Writer) 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?
To that end, we've created this "Cafe" -sized version of the Seven Seas Writer, with the standard "shinsho"* book dimensions of 110x176mm (about 4x7 inches) and 384 pages.
The result is a much slimmer format that's half the weight of the A5 SSW (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 via USPS First Class mail (under 15oz), which can be nearly half the cost (depending on where you want it delivered) than Priority Mail!
Specifications
- 110x176mm
- 384 pages (192 leaves)
- Coated-paper cover
- White Tomoe River 52gsm paper
- 7mm light gray rule
- Comes with pink blotter sheet
* "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.

Another great notebook from Nanami
Posted by Maria on 26th Oct 2021
I've been experimenting with different sizes and love this one as well! As all his other notebooks the binding is very well done and the paper is a dream.

so smooth
Posted by Victoria on 26th Oct 2021
The lines are light enough to where once you're finished writing, you can't even tell they're there. The paper is beautiful and showcasing ink sheening perfectly. I also adore the b6 size. A5 is usually my jam, but b6 is right in the middle and im really enjoying it. There is a little bit of ghosting but no bleed so you can easily write on both sides as well.

The go-to notebook for serious, and not so serious thoughts
Posted by KDA on 14th Oct 2021
This is how to spoil yourself. Using an amazing notebook such as this makes you want to tackle the 'morning pages' as well as the to-do list that disrupts your writing.

This company is the best!
Posted by Jackie on 4th Sep 2021
This is my second Nanami notebook and I cannot say enough good things about the quality of the notebooks or the impeccable service.
I hope this little company thrives and continues to offer these excellent notebooks, especially in hard to find sizes like B6 slim.

exactly what I want from a daily use notebook
Posted by RAS on 29th Jun 2021
This will be my second- I can’t speak more highly of this notebook- I love the thin paper, I know that not everyone will. But the ultra user-friendly size and sheer amount of pages shoved in here are what really sold me. Usually need a new notebook every couple of months- I’ve had this one since November and I am only now replacing it in June.

perfect notebook!
Posted by Viki on 26th Dec 2020
I am so in love with these little notebooks! I just ordered a couple more so that I will always have them on hand. First, the size- B6 slim is just perfect for me, feels "just right" in my hand. Portable yet my larger writing and preference for bolder pen nibs isn't too much. Second, the paper- I just love Tomoe River paper. The way my ink looks on the page, the crinkle it makes when used, the way it takes to inks, watercolors... Mmmm. Perfect! These notebooks are bound well and have sturdy covers which look elegant and allow you to make them yours. The price is great for how long a book will last you. I even like that they are often easily available on Amazon, although it was super fast ordering them right from Nanami Paper.
Perfect, perfect notebook! Can't wait to try the grid version!

Perfect size for every day note taking
Posted by gerry on 22nd Nov 2020
The B6 cafe notebook is perfect size for throwing into a bag or a pocket and taking it everywhere. This is my third lined version. Its one of those etheral objects you stumble upon -- it just 'feels right'. The size. The binding. The paper. I'm a huge fan.

Saving It to Stare At
Posted by Elle on 12th Nov 2020
This one I am keeping on a shelf to admire, not to write in or mar in any way (I have another half filled to carry with me everywhere and a Seven Seas Writer to use at my desk). Aah, and Tomoe River paper makes writing a joy. Excellent Nanami.

Wonderfully handy notebook
Posted by Les on 11th Nov 2020
I love my Nanami Writer in the A5 size, but Cafe's B6 size makes it so easy to write while holding the notebook in my hand. The high-quality sewn binding allow me to bend the cover back, making it even handier. And so many pages!
