This koi show started last year with the intention of being a Thank You
to our customers and dealers. The 60 koi for this Koi Show event were auctioned
as tosai in May of 2009, grown over the summer together in one concretepond,
and judged by all participants at the show. Bizen yaki ceramic pottery
made in Bizen, Okayama, was given to the prize winners and all participating
koi owners. We plan on having another Momotaro Koi Show next autumn with
the koi being auctioned at our May 2010 auction.

Summer 2009 Update
We have produced 15,000,000 fry from all of our best parent sets including
Izmo Ryu, Ryujin, and Bentely. This year we have also expanded our Mako
Showa project with many tosai remaining for growout. We continue with
culling and growing tosai through September and October. We are now taking
orders for tosai. Dealers please email us for pricing and availability.
Breeding Season 2009
We are happy to announce that we have finished our first round of breeding
for 2009. All our fry ponds are now full of a combined 4,000,000 fry. Both
Bentely and Izumo Ryu have spawned successfully. Hopefully we can make many
more champion quality,jumbo koi in 2009.

Working Towards a Better Showa: Mako Showa [Parent tree]
Throughout the koi world there are many generalizations regarding the main koi varieties. Many people would say that good specimens of Kohaku have the best bodies and the ability for a deeper but lasting red color(beni). Many would agree that Sanke can grow the longest and have the most elastic red. The generalization about Showa is that despite its striking colors, Showa often times lack the length and uniformity of its body to compete with the Sanke and Kohaku for the highest awards at the highest level. These generalizations have led us at Momotaro Koi Farm to strive to produce a new type of Showa, one with the growth ability and body lines of Sanke and Kohaku as well as an improved, even more dynamic black color(sumi).
Since 2004, Momotaro Koi Farm has experimented with mixing the Kohaku and Sanke body traits into the Showa variety. What is the best way to do this? By starting with the best body base possible, we crossed a female Mako-bloodline Kohaku to one of our best male Showa. Mako was our main Sanke parent koi from a Matsunosuke Magoi Sanke parentage, so her daughter Kohaku has the genetics for growth and girth.
From this initial spawning, the eggs and fry were few. After a summer of growing and intensive culling, only a few Showa from his crop remained. By the early summer of 2006 the best male Showa was used to spawn a Takeda-bred female Showa. At that time this male “Mako-Showa” showed the body characteristics we were hoping for, but the sumi was still very uninspiring. Now, in 2008 his sumi has remained unchanged but he has steadily grown in our male-greenhouse to 88cm.
The 2006 spawn of this lone Mako-Showa male to the Takeda Female was step in the right direction. Although there were not many fry produced, there were enough to get an idea of the kind of koi this new type of Showa could produce. By the time we got to the last cull of that Autumn many of these were actually sold because we were unimpressed with the sumi. Only after a winter in the mudponds and another Spring-time cull did we see the potential of these koi. The remainder spent summer of 2007 in a mudpond and were not harvested and looked at closely until the late Autumn.
By early 2008 the males and females were separated and in the spring and summer of 2008 many of these Mako-Showa males were used as parent koi. We have been impressed with the body lines and growth of these Showa as well as the bolder sumi. We hoped that with the right matches we could bring those characteristics out in our Showa tosai of 2008/09. While it may be too early to tell how great these 2008 Mako Showas will be, we are sure that we are going in the right direction. Our goal to produce Showas that have both the coloration and body to compete at the highest level continues to motivate us. Mako Showa is just beginning.
Momotaro Koi Show Event 2008
On October 3, 2008 Momotaro Koi Farm hosted a special Momotaro Koi Farm Koi Show for koi purchased at the May 2008 auction. This special event was a Thank You to all the customers and supporters who helped Momotaro Koi Farm get back to the top of the koi industry.
The May 2008 auction fish were purchased as Tosai then all grown in the same indoor pond until the koi show event in October. The koi show was judged by special guest Mayakawa Kiyoshi, and special awards were given out by Bizenyaki “Living National Treasure” Isezaki Jun, as well as Isezaki Shin, and Isezaki Kyo.
This Koi Show’s Champion was a Showa owned by Kepong Koi Farm in Malaysia.
We are pleased to report that a Momotaro Koi Farm bred Sanke owned by Mr.
Takigawa won the 44th Annual ZNA All Japan Koi Show. After winning Reserve
Champion in 2007, this koi was prepared all summer and came to the show in
its best condition at 106 cm. This Sanke, named Izmo Ryu, is one of
Mr.Takigawa’s many Grand Champions, and his second ZNA All Japan Show
Champion bred by Momotaro Koi Farm.
