Maple Koi Japan Trip 10th Nov 2012

Today we had a very busy day traveling to a breeder who was about an hours drive. We found a very good mix from the breeder Takahashi.He has good quality plus he had just emptied his mudponds of two year olds.We brought two boxes here and then back on the motorway to Ojiya where Suda B breeder was.Again his koi was top class quality of metalic doitsu kokoryu’s plus a koromo. Then onto the Goromo breeder Takano ,not easy to see and catch his koi here as the water seemed cloudy.We brought some very good Ai Goromo and Budo Goromo plus one Tategoi Goshiki. Last breeder we visited was Iwishita who is high up in the hills with stunning views of the valley below with many mudponds.Some empty of there koi and drained down ready for the winter but many more has koi swimming about and feeding from around the edges of there summer pools.
