Awards Won

The koi we breed from originate from well known Japanese breeders including our Sanke and Kohaku Oyagoi (parent fish) which come from Momotaro, Takigawa and Dainichi.  Our Showa Oyagoi are from Isa, Matsunoske and Fujio Oomo  and our Shiro Utsuri from Omosako and Ofuchi.

We are steadily increasing the production of our nursery ponds from harvests of just 5-20,000 fry at 1 inch to now where we harvest between 20 - 50,000 fry per pond.  The more koi you have to select through at 1 inch, the greater the chance of finding the high grade fish that would otherwise not have survived.  We are now keeping less per harvest which means the quality of our koi rises even further.  2005 and 2006 have been fantastic years with regard to fry production and we have also added new warm water  growing on facilities which means that we can now grow both our tosai and nisai tategoi on over winter, on-site.

2005 was a very good year for us both in terms of the number of koi produced and the quality and 2006 was even better!. In an effort to continue to increase the quality of the koi we produce, we have bought many new brood fish in 2006 which we plan to breed with in 2007. Our customers buy from us because they know that the fish they get are healthy, and as good in quality as many of the fish currently being shipped from Japan.  It is our aim to improve the quality of our fish every year and some koi bought from us have already won prizes in shows around the country competing against Japanese bred koi.
