The 15th Nagaoka Tosai Koi Show was held at Yamakoshi Branch Office on 2nd September.
The first show of the season. This show is for the koi born on this spring. Tagami Koi Farm won the 1st place with Sanke, Nishikigoi Niigata Direct won the 2nd place with Kohaku and Tanaka Koi Farm won the 3rd place with Showa. Gosanke lined up as top three prizes.
Low rainfall and lack of water have been a big problem in Niigata this summer but all breeders are trying hard under the difficult situation. Let’s hope for a fruitful autumn!
1st place Taisho Sanshoku bred by Tagami Koi Farm
2nd place Kohaku bred by NND
3rd place Showa bred by Tanaka Koi Farm
