Also the SFF auction was attended by many customers. so prices went very high for jumbo tosai. We did not buy any jumbo tosai because prices were so high that we can buy a good high quality nissai in October for this price. And with the tosai you have the risk of the evolution up to nissai, and the risk of losing it in the mudpond in summer. 

Have a look at our sansai showa Ninja we have bought. This showa is awesome ! The sumi is so good and such a nice pattern. This showa is still for sale, for more info call us or email us.

We were very happy to recieve from our customer in Cambodia Ratha this emotional selfmade video ! He wants to show us that our SFF nissai arrived save and well in his new homepond.

 

I think this is what koihobby and koilove is all about. Bringing koi to the world and enjoying the relaxation and love you get from those koi when you sit next to your pond at home.

From Japan to Belgium, from Belgium to Cambodia.

Thank you very much Ratha for this beautiful video.

Day 2 at SFF : selecting nissai Watch the video  

Today we looked for our nissai for the shop. As last year we want very high quality and also we want most of them to be over 58cm long in size. Today we could manage to buy 6 pieces in new greenhouse from the tategoiponds. The biggest one is  65cm long !

It is very difficult this year because there are not much nissai for sale. Yesterday we asked how many nissai will still come out of mudponds in the first 1,5 week and the answer was 200 pieces. So .... not many ... this year.

When we heard this we started again selecting in later afternoon and we had a selection of 20 pcs kohaku, tancho, gin showa and showa. Tomorrow we ask price of all our purchases and we will be able to answer all email of our customers for pricedemands of koi. This koi will come on our website with pic and video tomorrow and day after.

The quality of the best nissai we bought this year is even higher than the best ones we sold of last year in the shop !

On the video here you see Kentaro Sakai selecting jumbo koi for the Hiroshima breedershow next week.

First day Japan Omosako koifarm Hiroshima ! View photos  

Tuesday 4 October is our first day in Japan and this morning we have visited Omosako koi farm.

We bought 2 very good female shiro’s and 4 good bodied male shiro’s. Also we had the chance to buy a tancho showa nissai ! Identically the same as we bought 2 years ago as gosai ! the tancho showa is so good ! big body, nice big tancho spot and she can stay at omosako koi farm to grow on if the customer wants it.

Later on this week we will put all koi for sale on nissai for sale. This afternoon we went to the SFF open sale and there we managed to buy 4 good benigoi and 2 karashigoi nissai. We stayed off from the nissai this moment because most of the nissai are too small. (only 48 to 55cm)

We will select our nissai gosanke as usual on our trip to SFF in beginning of november, then we hope that the size will be around 58-62cm again like last year.

So 90bu+ makes a chance for major prize award in any koishow in Japan like Rinyukai show or All Japan or ZNA show. This koi is still available for any serious hobbyist who wants to play on major koishow in Japan and make a chance to win Grand Champion !

She will have space to grow. Now she didn’t get any food for the last 3 months.

Inazuma nissai kohaku "Tomahawk " Watch the video  

After all the stress, work and show we have time again to put your attention to some exceptional koi.

This inazuma 21 months old kohaku of the Tomahawk SFF bloodline is very special. Only 21 months and already 61cm long!  This is now our best kohaku still for sale at SFF that we offer to our customers.

The koi has a very good body with a strong tailpart and shoulderpart. The beniquality is good and equal over the whole body. The breastfins are big what suits the long size and big body of the koi. This koi will according to Kentaro make the same evolution as the Tomahawk yondan kohaku now 84cm at almost 5 years old.

We strongly recommend this kohaku as one of our best koi !

Dainichi showa yonsai 73cm Watch the video  

This showa was harvested in december last year, so we could not make new pics of her last year. Now we see her back after 1 year, and this koi has a very strong bodyshape and headpart. She will grow certainly very big and this is one of the best koi we saw. She owns everything to grow to 90cm!

The sumi on the body will come out because there is motoguro in both fins and also some part of sumi on the body are already there. That assures that the sumi  will come out.

A koi that will have a very good future in japan!

Grand Champion Rinyukai koishow 2010  

"PANDORA" THE GRAND CHAMPION 2010 !!!

All week long we were dreaming of this title but we could not believe it was really going to happen!
We saw the koi one week ago, and were very impressed of her beauty, body and shiroi. We were not sure placing her on the Rinyukai show yes or no and maybe better to wait until All Japan koishow in January.
But they convinced us to do so because we knew Pandora was very good.
So we stayed unexpectedly one week longer in Japan until 14/11/2010.
And the dream became reality, Pandora won !!!

Pandora Jumbo champion All Japan koishow 2011 Watch the video  

This morning at 9.30h we were present with our customers in the Ryutsu center to see the judging for GC. We, the staff of narita koi farm and Kentaro Sakai were there, waiting after the glass doors for the result. We told everybody that there were 6 koi who were in competition for GC, others told there were +/-10 contenders.

But out of the first voting round only 2 koi came up to go further to the second round. We were very stressed and thought we were out of the game but ... they went to vat number 14 and to vat 57 !! our vat ! So yes we were in the second voting round with 19 votes  against M Rose who had 30 ! This was very stressy for us but also for Kentaro Sakai.

As you can see on video 1 here, the koi are picked up and put in two vats next to each other. Then the judges select again. And in the second round M Rose won with 53 votes and Pandora had 30 ! So we became second and here this prize calls Tiger champion.  We are very happy with this prize and we were hoping on this prize after yesterday seeing the good condition of M Rose.

This experience was very exciting for us ! And now we know how it feels to be so close to the title of GC on the biggest koishow in the world ! We still have a goal for the future.

Monday we visited Mr Felix Denanta new koiponds. He is the customer who bought Pandora from us. He is constructing 12 new koiponds in the centre of Jakarta. This is just the start of the constructing you see on the pics, but in one month time it will be a complete different view. It will be like a Koigreenhouse with Koilounge to invite other koikichi.

We think this is really a very good idea to build this professional installation for keeping high class koi like Pandora.

Our visit to Pandora Watch the video View photos  

Yesterday it was a special day. We were all day at Narita koi farm where many of our koi stay.

We have taken some new films of our koi here and of course we had a long stay at the pond of Pandora.

This is Ryuki’s champion pond! We have taken a film of these koi. We became very quiet looking at all these magnificent jumbo’s. You can see our Pandora swimming gracious between the other ones as one of the biggest koi! Even now we cannot believe how she has become better in body in just 2 months time! Last time it was on the Rinyukai show when we saw her. Unbelievable!

In the same pond we saw 2 other good koi that are going to All Japan show next week. Competition for our Pandora ! A Muto kohaku also 90bu+ and a SFF sanke 90bu+. Both good koi, but the body of the sanke SFF is much better than the Muto. The SFF Sanke is big competition.

Next to these 3 koi including Pandora, there a 3 other koi that are going to take part at the competition for GC next week. Namely the SFF sanke that became second after Pandora on Rinyukai koishow and that is staying at Migita koifarm. And then 2 SFF kohaku staying in the SFF farm. One is the famous Rinyukai GC of  2009, same show where our Pandora played GC. And then another kohaku 90bu+. Kentaro says that the M Rose kohaku is in very good condition.

So the candidates for GC are for the moment 4 kohaku’s and 2 sanke. But maybe an unknown competion will still come up ?

We can say that the tension and stress is coming up in us being in the 6 candidates for GC. Still one week to go !

Here under we show you some All Japan show entrees that we filmed yesterday and that are still for sale.
