I have just arrived in Japan, and will be now hunting for some wonderful Tosai. Keep your eyes on the blog pages, or our Facebook (Yume Koi) pages for the latest updates.
It's also that time of year for closing and judging our 2011/2012 Tategoi Challenge, so please send us up to date photos and sizes of any purchases made last Spring so that we can judge this years winners.
Many thanks,
Mike |

I'm currently in Japan, and return on February 10th. Aside from visiting the All Japan Koi Show, I am in search of a handful of very special Nisai. So far, the trip has been very fruitful, having purchased three incredibly special Koi from the All Japan Koi Show 'Dream Koi' exhibition. Please check our 'Fish' pages for more info, or our Yume Koi Facebook page HERE |

Tategoi Challenge, and new Yume Koi pond |

It's been several months since the last new update, and there have been many many changes here at Yume Koi! More on that later though...
Last year's Tategoi Challenge winners are finally decided. This year was a tough one, with three very close contenders for the 'Unlimited Class' and two very close runners for the '£700 Class'. The emphasis on the Koi has nothing to do with how the Koi will fare in the Koi Show, but how good a candidate they are for growing up to be good Koi in the future.

Japan Spring 2011 & Tategoi Challenge |

As I write this, I am in Japan. My trip started with leaving the UK on 23rd to Judge the Indonesia Koi Show. After that, I flew to Japan via Singapore.So far, the trip has been a great success!
For those of you that bought Tosai last year, please remember that all are eligible to compete in our Tategoi Challenge. Competition is stiff however, with many of last years koi now becoming fantastic Nisai, some of them now some 68cm! (that's not a typing error). Also, all of the Tosai we are now selling can compete in our next Tategoi Challenge, which is split into two classes of 'Up to £700' and 'Unlimited'. The prizes for the winners of the two classes are a free koi of your choice of up to the original purchase price (£700 max) and for the 'Unlimited' class, a koi of up to original purchase price (or £2000 max). Please send in photos of koi you purchased last year in order that they can be judged.
Many thanks, Mike. |

Thirsty for Koi knowledge? On the 11th to 13th of March, there will be a huge three day event in Holland packed with lecture after lecture about all things 'Koi'. I will be lecturing on the 12th and 13th of March, but these two lectures represent just a fraction of the knowledge that you could gain from this immense event. If this is of further interest to you, check out the official website for 'International Koi Congres'
See you there!...
Mike. |
