About the Tancho Shiro Utsuri

A true Tancho Shiro Utsuri carries a single round patch of red on the head, ideally centred between the eyes, with the rest of the body presenting classic Shiro Utsuri sumi on white. Most Shiro Utsuri bloodlines don't produce hi at all, which makes these a collector's specialty. The hi is finalised; the sumi is what you're growing.

Why Omosako

Omosako Koi Farm has been producing premium Shiro Utsuri since 1949 — three generations of breeders refining a single signature variety. Shawn selected these fish personally from Omosako's Kure ponds.
