63rd Niigata Nogyosai Koi Show was held at Ojiya Gymnasium on 4-5th November.
Dainichi Koi Farm won the Grand Champion with the dynamic Showa Sanshoku. It’s been a while since Dainichi Showa won this title on 2006.
Also, Dainichi won the Reserved Grand Champion with the massive Tancho Kohaku. It is a big milestone that non-Gosanke won the No.2 title of the show.
Full report will be in the coming issue.
