Today we visited Isawa Nishikigoi Centre, home of arguably the best Koi Breeder in the world.
As usual we were blown away, Toshio Sakai was at his very best. In total we bought over 1000 Koi today. Which will bring you the largest selection of high class Koi in the UK.
We started out in the main pond viewing Sansai and Yonsai, I already had orders for these and also previous years buyers needed pictures taking. The Koi as always were unreal. His very best 2 year old Sanke would make anyone drool, one of the best Nisai I have ever seen. Toshio also showed us a few samples of his latest style of Showa, the first generation. They were very nice, really different in many ways, I will get more shots in a couple of days.
Around 4pm, 2 trucks with 3 containers each on rolled up. Jumbo Nisai from Matsunosuke’s ponds in Joetsu. We went to one of the other facilities in Isawa and stood in awe watching him pick through these Koi. We will go back on Sunday to select, Some nisai were over 60cms.
