Tomoe River's parent company has decided to refocus their efforts on what they consider to be their core businesses, and stationery does not fall under this classification. The manufacture of Tomoe River for stationery purposes has moved to new machines in a different facility, and the paper has changed.
What's new: - It is a few microns thicker than the previous version.
- As a result, it is stiffer in the hand, and less crinkly than the old version.
- The writing experience is different. There’s no good way to describe it, but the paper feels a little drier and has more drag.
- Some inks show up on the new version as a slightly different colour from what you might be used to on the old version.
What's not new: - The new version still shows sheen and other properties of ink well.
- The dry time is still the same; that is to say, ink dries slowly on Tomoe River, as it always has.

Ooh....wonder when the old style paper will run out? And how can you tell if the one you're buying is the old version vs the new?

The link has the full details. Short answer is there's no way to tell whether you got the old or new, and if you bought recently you probably already have the new version as the transition has already happened.
