Full House — 2026 Omosako Shiro Utsuri Grow-Out Contest
One koi from every category. The complete stable. The best value in the contest.
Can't pick a favorite? Want one of everything? The Full House Set gets you four koi — one from each category in the 2026 Omosako Grow-Out Contest. One Pretty Boi, one Glow Up, one Size Queen, and one Red Headed Step Child. Four contest entries, four shots at Grand Champion, one complete collection of Omosako Shiro Utsuri to grow out over the next year.
After purchase, you'll be randomly assigned one koi from each of the four category groups. We do the assignments after sales close so nobody can cherry-pick — every Full House buyer gets a fair shot at every fish in every group.
What you'll receive
- One Pretty Boi — finished Shiro Utsuri, ~51 cm, show-ready trajectory
- One Glow Up — developing sumi, ~49 cm, watch it transform
- One Size Queen — jumbo frame potential, ~50 cm, the long-game play
- One Red Headed Step Child — rare Tancho variant, ~47 cm, the collector's pick
- Free overnight shipping for all four koi via Southwest Cargo (continental US)
- Four contest entries — one per category, judged by the Omosako family
- Four shots at Grand Champion — quadruple your odds of taking home the JPD auto-feeder ($1,000+ value)
- $400 in savings versus buying the four koi individually ($2,400 retail value)
Why the Full House makes sense
The Full House Set isn't just a bundle — it's the best way to play this contest.
- Diversify your odds. Four different categories means four different judging criteria. Whatever the Omosako family decides matters most in 2027, you've got a horse in that race.
- Build a real stable. Four Omosako Shiro Utsuri growing together in one pond is something to be proud of regardless of how the contest finishes. Many growers find that the friendly competition between their own four fish is half the fun.
- The best value. $400 off the individual price, free shipping on all four, four contest entries for the price of three-and-change.
What you'll do
Same year-long project as the individual categories, just with four times the koi.
- Receive your four koi in late June 2026 and acclimate them to your pond
- Grow them out — feed, observe, photograph the journey of all four together
- Submit final photos & video for each koi by July 24, 2027
- Find out if you won — Omosako family judging across all four categories, winners announced August 6, 2027
