Sarasa Clip Refill Guide: JF-0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7 & 1.0 Explained
Sarasa is easier than it looks once you notice Zebra prints the refill family right in the official product specs. I love products where the code system actually helps.
Sarasa Clip refill logic is beautifully simple: JF + the matching tip size.
Zebra's current Sarasa Clip pages list JF-0.3, JF-0.4, JF-0.5, JF-0.7 and JF-1.0 for the matching body sizes.
The JF map
Sarasa Clip 0.3 uses JF-0.3, 0.4 uses JF-0.4, 0.5 uses JF-0.5, 0.7 uses JF-0.7 and 1.0 uses JF-1.0 according to Zebra's current product page.

Current Sarasa Clip refill map
| Body | Official refill |
|---|---|
| Sarasa Clip 0.3 | JF-0.3 |
| 0.4 | JF-0.4 |
| 0.5 | JF-0.5 |
| 0.7 | JF-0.7 |
| 1.0 | JF-1.0 |
Zebra also publishes model and JAN information on the same product page, which is useful when a limited color body makes the pen look different from the standard version.
If you have a cute limited Sarasa body, don't throw it away when the ink ends. Check the body diameter and refill code first — that's the whole charm of refillable stationery.

Bottom line
Sarasa Clip is one of the easiest Japanese pens to restock: match the JF code to the printed ball diameter.
