I’ve been using it to keep track of my fermentation projects, and the binding lies flat on the counter without me having to hold it open. The matte cover doesn’t show fingerprints, which is a nice bonus after floury hands.

Having just finished my first recipe in the Miso notebook, I'm impressed by how the pages lie completely flat when open — no more holding the book down with one hand. The creamy paper takes my fountain pen ink beautifully without any bleed-through.

I love how the Miso notebook's pages are a warm, creamy color—makes my handwritten notes feel cozier somehow. The dot grid is subtle enough to guide without being distracting, and I've already filled half of it with recipe tweaks.

The matte cover feels incredibly smooth to the touch, and the lay-flat binding makes it perfect for jotting down recipes while standing at the counter. I've already filled ten pages with meal prep ideas and ingredient notes.

I was worried the miso-coloured cover might be too muted, but it's such a warm, calming shade for a daily log. The lay-flat binding is a game-changer for jotting down recipes quickly without the spine cracking.

The paper is thick enough that my ink doesn't bleed through, which I really appreciate for my detailed tasting notes. The miso cover adds a nice pop of color on my kitchen shelf, and the lay-flat binding makes it easy to write while I'm cooking.

I record my fermentation ratios in here and the paper holds up well to kitchen splashes. The miso-colored cover looks exactly like the soup and always makes me smile.

The pages lie perfectly flat when opened, which makes copying recipes from my old stained cards a breeze. I already filled five pages with family favorites and the miso cover is such a nice, subtle touch.

I was hesitant about a notebook for recipe keeping, but the Miso cover is just the right shade of warm yellow to brighten my kitchen counter. The paper is thick enough that my fountain pen doesn't bleed through, and the pre-printed sections for ingredients and prep time keep me organized. This thing will definitely see a lot of use.
