Day 9

I checked out of my hotel as tonight I would be staying at the Hotel Sanrolla,I had not stayed here before as it is set in the Hills and not close to any shops , restaurants or train station. I went to several farms today, but I shall list the main ones of interest.

Oofuchi had many nisai available and I selected the following koi all between 30 and 40cm and great value. 

 

 

 

 

Next it was to Maruju a high quality farm for Goshiki, Budo Goromo ,Showa and others. In his main Tosai house he has some stunning Tosai unfortunately these were not available to select today but we did have time to chat and discuss many things including his parent koi which he bowled some for me and details of he spawning practice which he will start later this month.
