Sagara Process

From Broodstock to Your Hands

Every stage we handle ourselves — from choosing broodstock until koi are ready to ship to your pond.

Selecting broodstock by paying attention to the character and quality expected from the offspring.

Broodstock selection is done carefully to ensure the expected quality of offspring. We consider body shape, color, pattern, and character.

Running our own breeding process with careful monitoring.

Breeding is done directly at the Sagara farm with attention to pond conditions, water quality and proper timing. We monitor this process regularly.

Koi are raised with attention to water quality, feed and growth.

After hatching, koi are moved to grow-out ponds with feeding and water quality set according to fish growth.

Selecting based on body shape, color, pattern and character development.

Selection is done gradually to separate koi by quality and growth potential. Koi with the best characters are chosen for the premium category.

Koi are prepared and monitored before shipping.

Before shipping, koi go through quarantine and monitoring to ensure their condition is ready for the journey.

Koi are packed carefully before shipping to the buyer.

Packing is done following safety standards so koi remain in good condition upon arrival.
