First breeder we visited was Sakuma farm,after 12 hour flight. Two trains for 3 hours.They netted a whole pond for us to select out some very nice Kindai Showa a Metalic Doitsu Ochiba and two high grade Kohaku.One of which will be going to a koi show this weekend before being shipped back home.They are approx 33 – 38cm. Prices start at £ 295 – £ 395 each.
We hope to hear from Hajime Sakuma after the weekend for the results .

We are now getting ready for our Autumn Trip to Japan, only a few weeks away but we are organising the itinerary, traveling around the top breeders to find the best koi now harvested from the mud ponds.
