Niigata 2014

Currently Ushijima Nishikigoi is on our annual buying trip to Niigata, Japan. We have been fortunate to see and purchase some beautiful koi. We will post all the pictures soon but here are just a few. We will also post video soon.

The next two picutres are our purchases from Yagenji. Last year the Kohaku that get go really grew and the color got better. This year we got two shiro utsuri, ai goromo, gin rin showa, and Kohaku.

One breed that we haven't brought back to Hawaii in a few years is asagi and shisui. We usually go to Tanaka to get these. We also got a sansai shiro utsuri.

Probably the most sought after bloodline for sanke in Japan is the Matsunosuke Sanke. It was too tough to decide on one so we got all three.
