Day 1 Ogata Koi Farm Wed 10th Mar

Today i could`nt believe my eyes as i awoke, as it was just like home from home as i looked outside the hotel window and it was snowing they tell me quite a rare happening this far south,

Today was spent mainly hand sellecting all our smaller and cheaper koi from Ogata from 4-5cm upto 13-15cm which as normal provided us with a very nice mixed variety sellection,We also went through another pond and managed to buy a quantity of very nice 28-30cm mainly go Sanke,

Tomorrow we will start going through Ogata`s better ponds and start to sellect our higher grade koi,we also have a pond of Shiro Utsuri to pick from as well so this should be again another very busy day,and will upload pictures of these as soon as i get the time,





























































































After we sellect the Koi we require, from each pond Ogata staff carefully count these and place them into a large bowl on the back of a van,from there they will take all the Koi we buy to our holding pond until they are shipped.
