During our Autumn buying trip we bought 10 very special Shintaro nisai Tategoi.
These Koi were bought for us and our clients to grow on in our 900 ton pond. Saito San who is one of Niigata’s most famous Go-Sanke breeders. His Koi have won shows all over the world including the UK, Holland, Belgium and America to name some. His use of the Matsunosuke bloodline really has brought him into his own for breeding high class Koi.
These 10 Koi are all circa 50cms which is a great size for Nisai. With the slight changes Saito San has made to the Matsunosuke bloodline he has introduced bigger bodies while the Koi are still in early development but has not lost the quality of the bloodline. This will give us optimum growth in the big pond and we are expecting these Koi to shine.
Im sorry that a lot of people will not straight away see the quality of these Koi. Thats we bought them. The Skin and over all quality of these Koi are the best. They are of course available for our clients to buy which some have already shown an interest but they are for us to grow on too. I will post these pics I took while in Japan this year as we bought them. Then I will take better pictures in better light when they arrive back in the UK.
