Another great day. So many fish up here at the moment and selling very fast. Business seems to be pretty okay for the breeders we have seen. Hirasawa is much busier than last year.
With a brief stop off for tea with Yamamatsu we had a quick drive round to Igarashi Kazuto to see when the big fish will be harvested. As luck would have it he had just brought in some new fantastic Nisai so we bought 8 cracking Koi, real high class Koi. he also had a really different tancho Sanke there, not a lot of Sumi yet but only 3 years old and already 70cms. Very good tategoi.Will look great back at the shop.
We then went on to see Saito San who had harvested some more new Nisai which were very special. We ended up getting 10 of these, all will be for the 200k pond. I will post pictures of them soon. Really high class tategoi.
Then down to Hirasawa to try and fill a few customer orders I had, found his very best 4 year old Hi utsuri and immediately sold it, picture dosent do the Koi justice. it will be staying in Japan another year…
