MIDORI MD PAPER NOTEBOOK VS NANAMI IN B6 SLIM
On the search for a B6 Slim notebook and here are two choices that I’ve found. The comparisons vary, but it can be a combination of things that make you buy one over the other. I hope this helps you with some question you might be having 🙂
Thank you to Carrie Baker! She let me know I missspoke about the pages in the Midori MD Notebook. There are 88 sheets and a total of 176 pages!

I think JetPens is counting lines – starting with the very top line of the grid – whereas you are counting rows of boxes, if that makes sense. So you could theoretically write on that top line, in the margin above the gridded portion – though I think the only thing I would ever want to put up there is the date, title, or page number – or maybe a little doodle.
This was really helpful-thank you!
Been looking at the MD B6 slim… can it fit a Traveler’s Company TN?? A little overhang, I don’t mind..
Do all of the grid Nanami notebooks come with the gridless box at the top of the page?
Ordered two of these using your link! Thank you! The nanami one
I’m thinking that I like the MD better. Grid is bigger- I write weird and inconsistently. The Naname- small grid = me trying to cram my writing on every line😬! Also the color of the MD is less stark. I’m using white Clair Fontaine paper and it’s starting to annoy me🙂. Md has less paper so I won’t get bored and I can find it on Amazon. Thank you for sharing you review it was helpful 🤗! Take care and have fun💗🤗!
Hi Sylvia! Does the price you quoted include the difference in shipping cost difference? Ordering from Nanami plus shipping vs. ordering MD from Amazon (since they don't sell B6 Slim Nanami)? Is the Amazon Prime price comparable to the Nanami price + shipping?
Hey I know this is a silly question, but I have been trying to buy the Nanami Cafe Note on their website for days and there is literally no purchase button or anything. I'm so confused. Maybe you can help me? How did you buy yours?
I’m leaning more toward the cafe note because I like the white paper, the amount of pages, and the smaller grid. I tend to write small anyway. But who am I kidding? I’ll probably get both at some point because I like to try new notebooks all the time!
I've been researching b6 slim notebooks, and I've been obsessed with these two! Thank you so much for the comparison.
I have both of those in A5 and I love them!! I'm currently looking to get the Midori first because that's what's available, but I was wondering if the B6 Slim would fit in a standard Midori TN cover. Seems like a great combination. Thanks for the comparison!
Great comparison! Thank you! I love my MD, I have a mental block with TRP, I feel it’s such precious paper that I have to be perfect when writing on it 😹🤦🏻♀️ I love being messy and brain dumping in the MD.
Excellent review. But I just love the MD notebooks. I think they're elegant. Tomoe River paper makes me kind of crazy because it wrinkles so I end up ironing the durn things. I know: it's crazy but I won't hurt you. ; )
Nanami love to but u do wish it was cream colored
I'm a Midori girl, I do watercolor, stamping and stickers. Previously I was using the A5 but now I'm into B6, easier to work with and carry- it is all about the paper for me. I'm over the TRP.
I prefer the MD mostly because the grid is larger and I like the ivory paper. Normally I prefer Tomoe River paper. I believe the binding on the MD is to allow for the book to be folded completely in half backwards (once broken in) to allow for the train travel. Thanks for this great comparison. 🙂
I just put my Midori MD B6slim in the CS old personal size and it fits edge to edge and is fabulous!
I would like to try Nanami too 🙂
Nanami! Tomoe River Paper ❤😍❤
I haven't tried a Nanami, but I'm drooling over the Tomoe River Paper. I'm obsessed with that paper. The sad thing? I've never used it either. But the thinness coupled with how well it handles most pens (I've watched too many pen tests, LOL) has me won over. That's the first paper I've ever craved without concern that I might not like it. It has all the qualities (if all the reviews are right) that I'm looking for in paper.
That said, I do love my A5 Midori MD. I used wide Washi tape to cover the cream cover. The grid is a bit larger than I like, but the paper is fabulous: it's smooth, stands up to my fountain pens, just holds up really well. When I first got it, I wasn't impressed, but dang! It is really well made. The quality has far surpassed my expectations. It lies flatter than any other notebook I have. The spine, even though it looks unfinished, is sturdier than any notebook I've ever had. For how flat the pages lie, it seems like they should be popping out from the spine, but they don't. They are in place, solid.They've done a fabulous job on the binding. Phenomenal.
I really like Midori but I LOVE Nanami notebooks. I like an “all-in-one” notebook; bullet journal, art journal, regular journal. I love the Tomoe River Paper because I prefer fountain pens and I love the number of pages because I like to get an entire year in one book. I LOVE watching it fill up with wonderful memories and art pages that my 20 year old daughter and I do together once a month! I use the A5 Studio Note because I like the larger size, but have been tempted to try the B6 Slim for something else because Nanami notebooks are just so nice. Great quality, great customer service, and fast, reasonable shipping. It took me a few days to get used to the smaller grid size but now it just seems perfect. I would highly recommend. 😊
I love Nanami notebooks and the small company gives great personal service. When I recently was mistakenly sent the grid B6 slim Cafe Note instead of the lined version I ordered, they immediately sent out the lined one and said to please keep the grid one! Shipping is also fast and reasonable. I'd encourage everyone to buy direct from Nanami. Only problem is their various notebooks are often out of stock so when they are in I grab one even if I'm not needing it yet. The white paper in the Cafe Note is not a bright white, like Rhodia or Clairefontaine, but a really lovely soft, warm white shade. I adore everything about the notebook. Cover is very durable, too, as is the binding. A true bargain at the price! I've used my Nanami Seven Seas Writer with the same cover and binding but more pages for over a year, uncovered, and it's held up wonderfully. Thanks for your honest, refreshing videos. Always enjoy them.
I like the Midori better. I like the color and I like the grid size better. You can also get that same paper in the A6, A5 and even in the TN. Such a great paper.
Hi! I love your videos!! I recently purchased a Nanami b6 slim grid for a 3 year journal and then a Midori MD B6 slim (lined) for a regular journal. I use fountain pen in the Nanami and gel pens in the Midori. I love them both and agree that they feel great in the hand. FYI, the Midori actually has 176 pages (Jet pens says 88 sheets which should be doubled to = pages). You can actually see the number 176 in the back of the notebook with all the Japanese. I was super confused by this initially because I was numbering my pages and got to 88 half way through 🙂
