SALE !!!!!! Good morning everyone. As most of you know I’ve spent a lot of time in hospital in the last six months. A month in the middle of the harvest due to an infected leg that led to Sepsis, and another month-6 weeks after an operation on one of my kidneys that was right at the start of the sales when the weather warmed up, combine this with what has been a more quiet season than usual . This has left us with Sue trying her best to hold the fort, and us as a company with too many unsold koi. So we need to reduce the volume of koi we have here. So from now if ordering koi on line, please use SAVE25KOI to get a 25 percent discount on koi only. This includes all koi, even these that will be going on the site this week. Tamaura female nisai.

  Only one stop today , and that’s to Maruhiro .We had to go back , and measure , take  pictures and videos of the koi we are leaving in Japan , and then make my way back to Tokyo . . A nisai shiro utsuri , yonsai showa , three step sansai sanke , sansai tancho sanke  ,two step sansai sanke and a sansai hi utsuri . The fish were very impressive , and now the water was a lot clearer than the previous night . you could really see the skin quality on the sanke was very good ! The hi utsuri and the showa looked massive . the tancho sanke was the icing on the cake , the sumi was awesome . Pleased with them all .

               We then retired to the coffee hut , where we joined by our friends, a  Dutch dealer and magazine owners . We spent the rest of the morning , drinking  and chatting , nice way to relax before the long journey to Tokyo . It was a shame to have to break up the party , but I really wanted to get the travelling out of the way , and have some time in Tokyo . So all our good byes done , Hinori shook my hand , and then gave me a hug , which is a bit unusual in Japan , a sign that there is friendship there as well as a good business relationship .

           We drive over the top of the mountains , and down to Nagaoka city , punctuated with a few stops for pictures . I arrived at the station , and within  14 minutes I was on the bullet train , bound for Tokyo. So here I am , now writing the blog , at around 150 miles an hour . The trip finally over , and although I enjoy the trip , once its done , its done , and once I start travelling , that’s it , I just want to get home to my family  . Was it a good trip ? Of course , when isn’t it ? We have hand selected massive amounts of tosai , a whole lot of nice nisai at very good prices , and even some higher quality nisai and sansai. Probably one of the widest selections we have ever purchased ,  with koi for all budgets . We have left very high grade tosai with Yamamatsu , and lots more left in the care of Maruhiro . So over all a very good trip , and I hope you enjoyed reading all about it . Untill the next time , stay safe and enjoy koi …………………………………Gary
