20-07-2010 We have our last shipment of the Summer arriving on Thursday July 22nd and it is packed with over 200 superb Jumbo Tosai from Koi No Yohei and Isa. The Super Hybrid Sanke are fantastic, with Koi from just £99 to £2695. Within this shipment we have some of Yohei and Mamoru Nagasaki's best Super Hybrid Tategoi and although many other Koi promise future growth and therefore greatness, Super Hybrid Koi have a unique Genotype that is not present in any other Koi and it is this that means their growth is not guesswork. The Hybrid bloodline has come so much in the last three years that these Koi are the best value Koi of any that are available anywhere. The Koi arriving are pictured below;  YOHEI HYBRID YAMABUKI ALL JAPAN QUALITY  YOHEI HYBRIDS £300-£1500  YOHEI HYBRIDS £100-£300  YOHEI HYBRIDS £300  YOHEI HYBRIDS £500-£1000  YOHEI HYBRIDS £600-£2000  ISA TOSAI SHOWA £150-£400+ There will be details and better photos added to the Koi For sale pages soon and some of the Hybrids are already on the for sale pages. 20-06-2010 After two drags of the net we managed to harvest the Takeda Tosai that we placed in the grow out pond in early April. These Koi were over looked by many whilst they were available for sale and were regarded as Koi with weak Beni and poor Sumi, well not now! These Koi were selected in Japan for body and skin quality and this has resulted in only one male, by choosing Koi with experience and making sure not to buy the pretty ones the results are no surprise. The Koi looked what they were, unfinished but potentaily very good if you know what you are looking at! I hope anyone who saw these Koi originally and passed them over as too cheap at £229 may look closer at the Grow Out we offer in the future. The Koi offered for the grow out are always of a very high quality. There is no point in putting Koi in the grow out that have no future. The sole reason for these events is to try and show hobbyists what to look for.     18-06-2010 Our shipment of Koi arrived from Hiroshima on Tuesday and all are now looking much better after their journey. This weekend we will be harvesting the 'Grow Out' pond and will hopefully get some photos of the Koi and the events of the day on the website as soon as we can. 13-06-2010 This weekend saw two Koi Shows and a few winners at both for us, most notable being Adult Champion at the Worthing Koi Show.  There were other first there plus several at the Crouch Valley Koi of which we are proud sponsors of this event. More details to follow... 07-06-2010 Having just returned from another sucessful buying trip in Japan we will have a shipment of Koi arriving on June 7th, these Koi will be available for viewing from the following day. All the Koi are from Niigata with many on the website on the Koi for Sale pages under Coming Soon. 05-06-2010 A Koi No Yohei Sanke has won best Size 3 Koi at the recent South Hants Koi Show. Yet another winning Koi to add to the ever growing list, when all these winning Koi start to reach 80cm its going to be very interesting!  15-05-2010 After the longest delay ever, due to the volcano dust and Japanese national holidays, we finally had a shipment of Hybrid Koi from Koi No Yohei arriving late on Friday night. Some but not all, have been on the website since I returned from Japan but due to my poor photographs they have not been easy view! Anyway, the Koi will be here to see on Saturday from 9am, all Koi will be available for sale but cannot be bowled. In addition to the 150 Jumbo Tosai, we have six All Japan Show quality Hybrid Nisai Yamabuki Ogon available. These Koi are the best Yamabuki Ogon available anywhere and have to potential to exceed 90cm. 02-05-2010 Since having to endure the horrendous journey back to the UK it has been an equally difficult job of trying to get the Koi home. Due to the back log caused by the volcano ash cloud our shipments are running a couple of weeks behind schedule. The first shipment should arrive around May 6th. 23-04-2010 After a marathon journey home we finally got back to the UK via Lyon in the South of France. The Koi side of the trip was a great success and you can now find the Koi purchased on the website. 11-04-2010 We are currently in Japan and the Blog can be found on the link below. http://club-nishikigoi.phpbb3pro.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=88 30-03-2010 Since we introduced the F3 Koi No Yohei Hybrids to the UK in 2008 we have supplied them to Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Barbados, Indonesia and now Sweden. For the last two days we have had the pleasure of meeting Per and Stefan from Sweden, they contacted us a few weeks ago and arranged to come and see some Hybrid Koi. After explaining the history we bowled a few of the Hybrids we have in stock and Stefan and Per were taken by the white skin (as are most hobbyists!). Infact they were so taken that they have both booked places in the 170 Tonne pond for the Yohei Hybrid Grow Out in June, before we have even announced it and selected the fish!  27-03-2010 We have a fantastic Sakai of Hiroshima Baby Champion Grow Out offer for 2010, check out the Sakai Grow Out tab on the left. 05-03-2010 All Koi from Niigata have now arrived safe and well. As the condition was so good we have brought forward the first day for bowling to Tuesday March 9th. 01-03-2010 Our shipment of Niigata Koi will be arriving on the evening of the 4th March for viewing from Friday morning on the 5th. The shipment has many of the Koi on the 'New Koi' page on the website but there are also a few extra Koi that have not yet been advertised. The Seijuro Kohaku and the Isa Showa are exceptional Koi and will be of a quality and price that we feel is unbeatable. 28-01-2010 After the most hectic five days I have ever had Koi hunting we are back from Japan and have managed to find more than enough Koi. Most of these are now on the 'New Koi' pages and we will hopefully have a few more details on the Koi we saw during our visit loaded onto the 'Japan Trip' page over the next few days. 12-01-2010 We will be off to Japan within the next two weeks and will once again only be selecting Koi that meet our strict standards. Keep an eye on these pages for our latest 'Japan Blog' that will start as soon as we land in Japan. 30-12-2009 The task of photographing the Grow Out 2010 Tosai from Takeda has now been finished and they can be found on the Grow Out 2010 pages. The quality of these Koi is now really beginning to show. These Koi will be absolute bargains by the time they are Harvested from our 170 Tonne growing pond next year.   17-12-2009 Our new Harvest collection will be arriving on the 22nd of December with viewing from the morning of the 23rd, however bowling will not be possible until December the 28th. 02-12-2009 Koi No Yohei has just won the coveted Grand Champion prize at the Tokai District Koi Show with a 96cm Sanke. This show is one of the largest in Japan behind the Shinkokai All Japan and ZNA All Japan Koi Shows. Obviously Mamoru and Yohei Nagasaki are very pleased with this and got an extra surprise when thay also took the Super Jumbo prize as well.  Tokai Grand Champion 96cm Hybrid Sanke 2-11-2009 Its been a year since we launched our F3 Shiro Utsuri growing competition and we finally have the result; the winning Shiro Utsuri was grown to 47cm by Joop van der Zalm from Holland. Not only did Joop have the winning Koi he also had the second placed Koi as well! A fantastic achievement.  1-11-2009 Saturday saw the the judging of the 2009 Grow Out Koi with Deron, Paul, BKKS Judges Bernie Woollands and Christine Woolger all deciding on a No1. Mamoru Nagasaki had also made his choice via email. After a long debate we arrived at a four votes to one in favour of TS3 a Sanke owned by Andy PhillipsAndy wins the cut glass trophy and also takes home a special Kohaku donated my Mamouru for the winner. Second place was taken by Myles Stockman with TS11 and third place by Keith Blades with TS14.  28-10-2009 We will be leaving London on the 3rd November and will be in Japan early on the 4th for this years Autumn Harvest or Ikeage as they call in Japan. We will start with breeders in the Chiba Prefecture and then we will venture up to Niigata and then south to Hiroshima, Aichi, Mie and Gifu Prefectures. You will be able to follow our progress on the 'Harvest 2009' page on this site and also on the new forum accessed via the 'Club Nishikigoi' button.

The Koi were in fantastic condition, had grown very well and improved in every way . When you decide to grow Koi in this way the quality you put in the pond is vitally important. We only put top quality Hybrid Koi in this years event and the Koi have not let us down. Full details to follow in the next few days with full measurements and photos.    09-10-2009 The temperatures have now dropped and we are now going to Harvest the 'Grow Out' pond on Saturday Oct 17th at 12pm. All those of you that have purchased one of these Koi are obviously welcome but we would also like to invite everyone else. We hope to show and explain the developments and traits (Keito) that have now become apparent. In the 8 weeks or so these Koi have had in the pond there has been significant growth and with that there has also been fundamental changes to the Koi. These were only indicated at their small size, but are now very obvious.It is this kind of development that we can explain with the aid of the original Photos and the Koi itself. The advantage we have is that there are nearly 50 Koi on view and all have 'before' photos. It is this type of visual 'hands on' learning that you can only get in Japan, well not any more!! The Koi will be harvested then kept here for two weeks for acclimatisation , so they can be viewed after the event if you can't make it. The Harvest of On the same note we are off to Japan in less that four weeks and are putting together a 'wish list' for our customers. If you are looking for any Koi in particular then please contact us and we can discuss finding them for you. All Koi sourced are always subject to viewing on arrival in the UK and there is no obligation to buy if the Koi we find is not suitable. By the way, this has never happened!! 02-10-2009 The Autumn Harvest in Japan now beckons, it has not been a hot Summer in Japan and there are currently two versions of how this will affect the Harvest; one, is that the cooler temperatures will mean the Koi have fed every day and grown more and two, that the Koi will not have fed enough! Well only time will tell and needless to say a cool Summer in Japan would rank as a 'Hottest on Record' here! As it has been cooler the breeders we use are aiming to Harvest slightly later and therefore we won't be travelling until the first week in November. We are now making our final bookings during the next week and if anyone would like to accompany us please contact us as soon as possible, as we are currently deciding whether to run one or two trips.  Our trips are tailored to our customers requirements, we travel to every region in Japan and our contacts enable us to visit any Koi farm. As a rough guide we intend to visit four main areas; Chiba for Takachio, Kyowa, Migita and Gonjiro Niigata for Kyusan, Ononuma, Marusaka, Sakamaki and Hiroi Seiji Gifu/Aichi for Kondo, Koi No Yohei, Higashi, Koi Doraku, Dainichi and Maruyama Hiroshima/Okayama for Takigawa, Omosako, Sakai, Tamaura, Takeda and Momotaro. We think that this covers pretty much every top class breeder in Japan and is a list that cannot be matched! As a rough guide the trips are run on a pay as you go basis, the flights are just £457 and hotels around £40-50 a night. Plus food and drink. Please contact us if you have and further questions. 25-09-2009 16-09-2009 After the hectic five days spent with Mamoru Nagasaki on his UK visit, we finally have time to list the Koi supplied by us that have taken prizes at recent shows in the UK. We had some prizes for our Koi at last years South East Koi Show and also this years BKKS National but this set of results really shows our abilty to supply Show Quality Koi. We have only been trading for just over one year, so we know these results are just the start. Most of these Koi were supplied last year so next years list is going to be a lot longer!
