Bullet Jotter Writing Pad Refill – Soliste

If you already own a Bullet Jotter Writing Pad & Cover Set and want a refill that adds warmth alongside writing pleasure, this Japanese writing pad refill is the one—Soliste by Yamamoto Paper, a cream-toned 65 gsm sheet that brings a gentler visual character to Bible size (3.7" × 6.7"), ready to slot straight into your cover.

The name Soliste is French for "soloist"—the single performer who carries the melody alone. It's a fitting name for a paper that distinguishes itself not through extremes of smoothness or weight, but through character: its soft cream tone shifts the entire writing experience away from the clinical white of most papers and toward something quieter and more personal. That warmth comes from the natural composition of the sheet, and it gives every ink color a slightly richer, more settled appearance on the page.

At 65 gsm, Soliste strikes a comfortable balance for fountain pen users—light enough to use both sides without excessive show-through, yet substantial enough that strokes land with confidence. Ink flows cleanly across the surface, with moderate dry time and good line definition. The cream backdrop brings out the depth of darker inks and adds a tonal richness to waterproof and iron gall formulations. This Japanese loose leaf paper is equally well-suited to ballpoint and pencil, making it a versatile everyday refill.

Yamamoto Paper — Preserving the Joy of Paper for the Future

Based in Sakai, Osaka, Yamamoto Paper was founded in 1972 as a paper specialist. Drawing on decades of experience connecting paper manufacturers with end users, they now design and produce their own original stationery. At the heart of their work is a belief in "sharing the joy and warmth of paper with confidence for generations to come."

Rather than simply selling beautiful paper, Yamamoto Paper values delivering the full character of each sheet—its writing feel, texture, and the way it changes over time. They are also known as "custodians" of paper culture, reviving legendary papers that have gone out of production and passing them on to the next generation. What makes Yamamoto Paper especially beloved is their balance of craftsmanship and playfulness. Their Paper Tasting series, for example, lets you sample different types of paper as if you were tasting wine, turning the exploration of paper into a delightful experience. It's this combination of uncompromising quality and creative spirit that has earned them loyal fans among stationery lovers and fountain pen enthusiasts around the world.
