Hasegawa Koi Farm is very different to most of the other Koi farms around Niigata. He has always worked alone apart from the help of his wife. His children unfortunately have no interest in learning the Koi trade which is a huge shame. Once Mitsuo decides to retire which I hope is never but he is now in his late 60’s and he cant continue with the work load forever.

Hasegawa Koi are famous the world over, winning many shows all over Europe and America. Now Hasegawa San’s largest market is in Taiwan. He has some very good clients who buy most of his Tateshita each year.
His Tategoi are very sought after every year. You must be fast to purchase his 3 year old fish, they just sell out so fast. The reason for this is because previous clients who have bought his very best Koi return each year to buy again from Hasegawa. They can very expensive but return clients don’t mind this.
