Specs
Paper & pairing
Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About Tokyo International Pen Show
The Tokyo International Pen Show is an annual pen and stationery event first held in September 2018 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industry and Trade Center. It gathers pen makers, retailers, and enthusiasts, and is known for show-exclusive fountain pen inks such as Sailor's 2018 'First Penguin' Antarctic Ocean Blue.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
