The name Hanging Rice refers to the traditional snack pusô, which is made using rice expertly wrapped in a woven palm leaf parcel and boiled to create almost a dumpling-like texture. A long piece of palm leaf extends from the weave and is often used to hang the parcel to attract hungry customers.

Hanging Rice is a nice shading ink that darkens with wet application. It performed beautifully on all six test papers and dried quickly, too. I recommend testing in a few nibs to find the appearance that you like best as results vary, but performance and writing experience are consistent.
