Request a Koi

Every buying trip, Tom walks the farms in Japan with a list of the koi our customers are looking for. If you have a specific koi in mind, this is where you tell us.

  1. 1
    Tell us the koi. Variety, size, budget, and what matters to you. Two minutes.
  2. 2
    Tom takes it to the farms. Requests start at $1,500 and stay open while we buy in Japan. The earlier yours reaches us, the more farms we can take it to.
  3. 3
    You hear first. Tom messages you on WhatsApp from Japan, before the koi joins a public drop. A koi Tom finds for you flies home with the harvest, finishes quarantine at our San Jose facility, then ships or is ready for pickup from its Quarantine Completion Date (QCD).

How the buying trip works

We have your request

Thank you. A confirmation is on its way to your email. If you have a photo of the koi you have in mind, reply to that email with it. A photo helps more than any description.

If we find a koi that fits, you hear from us first, before it joins a public drop. If we do not find one this trip, we tell you that too.
