Wow! This is truly a wonderful piece of film making. As someone who fell in love with koi about 40 years ago I can feel the passion for these wonderful fish coming through. Beautifully shot and edited it is a credit to you. Thank you!
Fantastic documentary. After watching this it is no wonder why high quality koi are so expensive with only 1% of koi bred making their way to market for serious koi keepers. Looking forward to your next video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love watching your documentaries!!! ❤❤ Trying to explain to the world the true magic of the koi..... but it also shines through your respect for the breeders and the crazy amount of work and pride they put down in their koi!!! ❤❤ I am the proud owner of my own tiny collection of koi and really appriciate their beauty!!!
Hi Ivo, thanks for this great. I have visited some of the farms for the first time last year. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to my next trip. Your video provides a very nice addition to how the breading of koi works, and the amount of work the breeders have to put it day in day out. Thanks and looking forward to your next video!
Been a follower since the beginning. This is your best video yet! Keep up the great work. Suggestion for a video. Talk about how someone can go about finding a koi guide/consultant/translator for those of us that would be traveling from around the globe in person.
Wow an amazing documentary Yvo and a massive credit to you. I enjoyed every minute of it and hope that you make many more of this type of video as they are very informative. 👍👏
Truly outstanding job yvo! This is every bit as good if not better than what the biggest tv companies produce about nature! You captured some incredible video and useful information! I am so thankful for all you do for this hobby it’s an honor to call you a friend 👍
I am stunned and amazed by the quality of your Video. Pictures, music, storytelling. I have decided that I want to buy my next Koi from you, but then I saw that I cannot buy Directly from you ?:/ Cheers from Germany!
Yvo THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing a deep-dive at Hosokai! I love the koi I have from this farm and felt that a featured segment of this breeder was long overdue.
I think we have just seen the future of the Koi industry in Japan. Kotaro and his command of the English language will put Sakai Koi farm ahead of any other breeder as the Western and Eastern Koi markets grow. The Thai and Vietnamese are up and coming buyers and use English as a translator tool. A great video insight by Yvo.
Hi Eric, thank you so much! Making these films costs a lot of time, energy and money. So every single comment is a blessing for me and a compliment for my work! Thanks and have a nice Monday ❤️
Beautiful documentary 😍... thanks for sharing how everything works in the beautiful koi world and in Japan (hopefully 1 day i can experience it myself 🙏😍)
Hi Dar, they are such great and lovely people. Sometimes I wish the whole world are like the Japanese. We can learn so much of them. Have a great weekend and thank you for watching, Yvo 😊
Wonderful video! I also love the cute little Suzuki pickup truck. I sort of imagine it could not be ver much bigger than my Maruti built Suzuki Alto. I would love to have a koi pond, but that doesn't work in a flat.
I know it gets easier with practice, but it's still fascinating that they can keep their focus sorting through that many "baby" fish. I would probably be hopeless at it, regularly second guessing myself because Did the one I just sorted out really look that bad?
Loved This When i had my own Big Pond i brought 100 Babes about 2-3 weeks old and to see what i got later again the same Proses of Selection i sold on the ones that dint show Promise i ended up with some Realy Nice Koi for my self some Grew in a short time Massive and like all Koi would come into my hand for some Food Great Vlog i miss my pond Thanks
O M G...what a fantastic video..well worth waiting for. I have a Q. If only 10% of the koi make it through are all the others sold as a 'job lot' or do they all go back into the mud ponds ? The garden at 32m is stunning. 30 million fry...wow. Thank you so much for posting.
Hi, really good question: so like in nature a part isn’t healthy born. Some baby fish have bended back spinals or miss an eye for example. In nature breeding you this very often. Those don’t make It. The rest is being sold domestically and the other part is being kept to raise. Hope I cleared it up a little 😃 thanks for watching
I have been watching alot of your videos in the past 2 days and why do you only do videos on white and orange koi ? Why not any other variety/ colours ? I'm loving the content keep it coming I can't get enough
Thanks for the feedback. It’s very hard to plan these events with breeders. Especially the special variety’s are small numbers most of the time compared to go-Sanke. I’ll try to film something like that the next time ❤️
@@TheKoiPartner the contents brilliant I'm loving it, I was just curious that's all, I can imagine it's very hard to get inside certain circles in regards to japanese koi breeding and them letting you film content 👍
Yvo back at it again with an amazing koi movie :)
Thank you Carl 🙌
@@TheKoiPartnerComparable quality from both of you. Both superb quality in all respects, images, narration and story telling.
Wow! This is truly a wonderful piece of film making. As someone who fell in love with koi about 40 years ago I can feel the passion for these wonderful fish coming through. Beautifully shot and edited it is a credit to you. Thank you!
That’s amazing John! Thanks for you story and kind words, it took a lot of work to get this film done 😇
Fantastic documentary. After watching this it is no wonder why high quality koi are so expensive with only 1% of koi bred making their way to market for serious koi keepers. Looking forward to your next video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate!
the respect they have for these fish is highly remarkable
It’s amazing right?
@@TheKoiPartneryes
New documentary just dropped, I know what I’ll be watching tonight!! 🤩
Thanks buddy! ❤
I really appreciate you showing us the insides of the Japanese breeders, thank you
So nice of you thanks 😊
Well done Yvo ! What a video ! My only wish was for this movie to never end… I feel 40 mins not enough
🫶
Well done Yvo! 👏🏼
Thanks all ❤

Hey Mario, thank you so much! 😃
Awesome video Yvo! Very cool information about breeding and selecting!
Thanks so much!!
I love Japan, they do everything with a lot of care. This is the best video I have seen of fish and breeding
Thank you so much! 😊

Truly outstanding job yvo! This is every bit as good if not better than what the biggest tv companies produce about nature! You captured some incredible video and useful information! I am so thankful for all you do for this hobby it’s an honor to call you a friend 👍
Thanks buddy 😻
Weer een prachtige documentaire ❤. Door jouw videos heb ik deze mooie hobby ontdekt en heb ondertussen ook een vijver met koi.
Bedankt Niels! 🙏🙏
Another great video. Keep them coming. Can never get too much koi.🎏
You got that right Gary, thanks for watching, hope you liked it
I am stunned and amazed by the quality of your Video. Pictures, music, storytelling.
I have decided that I want to buy my next Koi from you, but then I saw that I cannot buy Directly from you ?:/
Cheers from Germany!
Thank you so much! I do only sell b2b at the moment, I’m sorry! I would have loved to sell you a koi from Japan. Thank you for watching best Yvo 😃
You outdid yourself with this one, well worth the wait. Also can’t wait to purchase a fish from you!
Thank you so much! 🥺❤️
Great documentary, brilliant work 👍🏻
Many thanks! 🙏
All the best for your future work, you explained it fantastically.
Another great video! Well Done!!!!
Hi mate! Thanks for your support and comment ❤
great video as always mate
Glad you enjoyed 😍
Yvo THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing a deep-dive at Hosokai! I love the koi I have from this farm and felt that a featured segment of this breeder was long overdue.
You are welcome, thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Makes my day ❤️
Amazing do you buy to sell these fish to others? Love them and thanks for sharing! So grateful for you doing this documentary!😊
Yes they sell them overseas and domestic. Thanks for watching and reaching out 😃
I think we have just seen the future of the Koi industry in Japan. Kotaro and his command of the English language will put Sakai Koi farm ahead of any other breeder as the Western and Eastern Koi markets grow. The Thai and Vietnamese are up and coming buyers and use English as a translator tool. A great video insight by Yvo.
You’ve hit the nail on the head! With Kotaro at the helm, Sakai Koi farm might just be swimming circles around the competition!
Another great video
I appreciate that ❤
Hats off for this beautiful documentary sir.... much appreciated
Love from 🇱🇰
Thank you ❤️
Really nice film making!! Truly enjoyed every minutes of it… keep up the good work!! And best of luck for your future Career ahead! 💯

Thanks Ivo, such a great video!!✨
Thank you. 🙏
How about the Don't mess with Texas T-shirt? Hahaha.
Haha, I was waiting for this comment to be honest 😂 while editing the film I noticed the shirt and that was kind of funny
I know it gets easier with practice, but it's still fascinating that they can keep their focus sorting through that many "baby" fish. I would probably be hopeless at it, regularly second guessing myself because Did the one I just sorted out really look that bad?
They sort out the ones that don’t match the health- or selection criteria, good question 😃
Loved This When i had my own Big Pond i brought 100 Babes about 2-3 weeks old and to see what i got later again the same Proses of Selection i sold on the ones that dint show Promise
i ended up with some Realy Nice Koi for my self some Grew in a short time Massive and like all Koi would come into my hand for some Food Great Vlog i miss my pond Thanks
Love your videos. Great content.
Thank you so much
This was wonderful to watch, thank you!!👏
Glad you enjoyed it Maria! 😇
Thank you Yvo! Amazing video again! At the end with Kotaro, the paste recipes was : honey,oats,sweet potatoes, right? I would like to try it.
Thank you Marcell! Yes that’s right. All details can be found on their website if you need the recipes. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🙏
