Then, my partners nephew said he is coming to visit in the UK in August so I bought the pack of Onion Skin Cahier's and had it shipped to him in the USA and he will bring them over with him!

I don't know if you use fountain pens (haven't had a chance to poke about in here yet!), and YMMV of course regardless of writing implement, but if you can use it or just wanted to try it (and anybody else UK based who'd like some) please let me know. I'd need to fold it to DL size for posting so it won't be pristine.
(Apologies if I shouldn't be posting this here - I'm new!)
I too purchased some paper from Japan that was supposed to be good for brush pens, fountain pens etc and it was totally useless! The ink goes straight through the paper and marks whatever is underneath the page!
That is a very kind offer from you however, if it is not fountain pen friendly then it would not be of any benefit to me as that is what I use as well as dip pens to which I assume it would be even less friendly.
I can tell you that I have seen the aforementioned American onion skin in use by some of the bloggers I follow and it is great. Sure, with a wet pen you can only write on one side of the paper but that is fine at least it doesn't bleed through, it is just show through. The best part is the sound and feel of the paper - just Wow!
As a matter of interest, I recently acquired a 400 page notebook from Baz Notebooks on Etsy. Tomoe river paper (just please do not ask me from which machine it came from ) They are based in Bologna so it takes a while to get here and postage is more than the notebook. But that is good paper and I am quite happy with it. I recently purchased a B6 Slim Chic Sparrow notebook holder thing and this Baz notebook fits beautifully in it.
What does YMMV mean sorry, old man here and I can't keep up with all the acronyms :-) I do see that there is a huge increase in fountain pen Green ink lovers as they have their acronym and flags everywhere:
