Sakai Hiroshima Tosai Selection
This March saw Koi Water Barn visit the world famous Sakai Fish Farm Auction. Although only successful in purchasing one koi in the Auction itself, we managed to secure a number of top quality Tosai, and Jumbo Tosai at the open sales day before the Auction itself. These Tosai have now arrived at the Barn and are now on view in the Tategoi pond or online by clicking this link. These koi are truly amazing, and of the highest quality, making them ideal for showing, or simply allowing you to own an amazing koi from which to learn as it grows and develops.
Sakai Fish Farm and Omosako Koi now in at KWB
Tuesday the 24th April saw Koi Water Barn take delivery of koi selected last November from Sakai Fish Farm, and Omosako Koi Farm. These are now all on view in the main pond, tategoi pond, Pond 12 and Pond 14 at the Barn, and pictures are slowly being posted to our website, so please be sure to check on a regular basis. All being well we hope to start netting these koi over the Bank Holiday weekend, so plan a visit to come and view some of the best koi in the UK!

Koi Water Barn supply Kokugyo Winner at All Japan Koi Show
Congratulations from all to Kevin Ellis
Koi Water Barn are pleased to announce that a Sakai Hiroshima Male Kohaku which was supplied to our customer Kevin Ellis on our last Autumn buying trip has had major success at this years All Japan Koi Show. The koi in questions was an amazing Male, yes Male Kohaku from Sakai Hiroshima and it took the Kokugyo prize for 60bu Male Kohaku! Kevin is of course made up with such an achievement especially considering this koi was not mega money in the scheme of All Japan Prize winners! So once again well done to Kevin from all at the Barn, and once again this only enhances the fact that Koi Water Barn have supplied more prize winning koi at the All Japan Koi Show than any other koi dealer in the UK, and Europe!
