Kohaku

Sakazume Koi Farm is highly regarded for producing exceptional Kohaku, one of the most iconic and beloved varieties of koi. These Kohaku are prized for their pure white base (shiroji) and vibrant red (hi) markings, creating a striking and elegant contrast. Sakazume Kohaku are known for several key characteristics:

• Impeccable Shiroji: Sakazume strives for a snow-white, flawless base, free from any yellowing or blemishes. This pristine white provides the perfect canvas for the hi patterns.
• Rich, Deep Hi: The red markings on Sakazume Kohaku are typically a deep, rich, and consistent shade, often described as a "persimmon" or "fire engine" red. This intense color adds to the koi's visual impact.
• Sharp Kiwa (Edges): The edges of the hi patterns are crisp and well-defined, creating a clean and sharp contrast against the shiroji. This sharp kiwa is a hallmark of high-quality Kohaku.
• Balanced Pattern (Pattern): Sakazume Kohaku are bred for well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing patterns. These patterns can range from simple two-step (Nidan) or three-step (Sandan) patterns to more complex and dynamic designs.

Sakazume Koi Farm's dedication to meticulous breeding practices and their focus on these key characteristics result in Kohaku that are highly sought after by koi enthusiasts worldwide. Owning a Sakazume Kohaku is a testament to an appreciation for the highest standards in koi keeping.
