Matsunosuke 2012

This is a video of our 2012 Koi buying trip to Yamakoshi, Ojiya in the Niigata prefecture of Japan. Toshio and Toshiyuki Sakai are good Friends of my father Bruce. We were able to Toshiyuki's new farm right as you leave Yamakoshi on the way to Ojiya. Unfortunately my video camera battery died so i had to take pictures and videos with my ipad. Videos of follow soon.

These are the three koi that we were thinking of purchasing.
We made the correct decision.

Here is the video of our purchase. These nisai snakes looked like sansai.

Igarashi Koi Farm 2012

This is a video of our 2012 Koi buying trip to Yamakoshi, Ojiya in the Niigata prefecture of Japan. Visiting our good friend Kosaku, Ushijima Nishikigoi look at two tancho showas that we purchaced last year but left in japan to live in the mud pond. They sure have grown in one year. Now they are coming home to our farm in Kaneohe. We also purchased a stunning sansai shiro utsuri and showa.

Look at the tanchos last year. It is kind of hard to tell with the pictures but in the video you can really see the difference in size compared to the bucket. Igarashi(Kosaku)

The first purchase of the trip, a sansai shiro utsuri from Igarashi.
