What a beautifully shot documentary! Clear, clean narration, the B-roll does not take center stage, but belongs where it should be, and the Japanese landscape and the Koi. What a satisfying watch!

I must say that I am impressed with how present each location, give credit to each breeder and properly list their specializations. I know next to nothing about koi but still found this video very much enjoyable to watch. Thank you for your hard work in making this video.

Well, that was totally fascinating. I will never be interested in purchasing koi but I was enthralled with the process. I wanted to net out a koi of my own! Must be amazing to have $10k to spend on a single fish. I could have done without watching the squid being eaten alive though... ugh.

When I lived in Honolulu in the 1960s, I attended an international koi show and one koi sold for over a million dollars! I can’t imagine what that would be in today’s dollars! Koi usually live 25-35 years but one lived to be 226 years old! The show champion in Hawaii when I went was supposed to have perfect markings- I’d like to think it’s still alive and just a very old koi!

Honestly, surprised at how good this video is - props to Sacramento Koi and the person who made this video, honestly, you've done a perfect job, I'm mesmerized.

Personally, I love, love, love koi fishes. I love the fact that they are so meek and they allow you to touch them and even hold them. If I was in your place, I would not be able to sell even one. I would keep them for myself to enjoy. Of course, I would be out of business before I start. Lol. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy watching them. : )

The title intrigued me, because many years ago, probably 20 years by now, I was a flight attendant, I had a flight to Osaka. I wanted to buy Koi and somehow I had an address were a Koibreeder lived. In the outskirts of Osaka. It was amazing and I bought twelve small Kois. Two of them didn't survive the long trip home and another two died within the first week in my pond. But the other 8 lived many years. I was very proud of them, though they were not prize winners.

What an amazing documentary on a taste of japanese culture - the people, the koi, the food, and the hospitality. You have a wonderful job!

It’s 2 in the morning in England and I watched all of this, I have just found a love for koi and this helped so much to expand my knowledge. Thanks so much

It’s a Sunday night, dreading Mondays early starts so I’m sat here watching a man pick fish, I’m loving life!

I don't remember what path I followed to watching this video, but I can't stop thinking about how interesting it was. Really interesting presentation even for someone that doesn't necessarily have an interest in keeping Koi.

I am just starting to grow koi on my backyard so this is really cool to see how expensive and precious they are

It’s always incredible to see a master at their craft. Whether it be an artist making a painting, a mechanic fixing a car, or koi breeders making beautiful fish, there’s just something about it that’s amazing to watch

learned so much about this koi business; i particularly liked the way you detailed your journey from start to end; it gave me a feeling that i was on the same trip; clear visual and audio

I love finding well done educational videos like these. I learned so much in 57 minutes.

This is the second video I have watched on visiting Japan and shopping for Koi. They are beautiful fish and such a wonderful challenge to pick the ones you want. They are amazing for such variety and how large they can grow. You are so blessed to be in this business which you obviously love and experience the journey every year. As I have parrots and collect tropical plants I am not really in a position to expand into these fabulous fish. I appreciate the great job your camera crew did on capturing the trip and taking us along.

This is the best fiskeeping related video I have ever seen! :)

I have absolutely no interest in Koi, but this kept me fasicantated for the entire film. You guys sure do love your fish. Also, I want to see Terry's 50,000 gallon tank.

This documentary was super interesting and am glad it finally became a recommended video.

That was a really fascinating look at the Koi trade, I'm not even a fan until now but fascinated by the variety and depth of the hobby.

Thank you, your team and Koi Farmers for the effort and clarity you've bought to understanding koi farming, purchasing, shipping etc. Well done. It is a lovely video well worth watching!!

I was watching a completely unrelated video and this video happened to been to be part of that. I was so interested in that brief snippet that I had to find this video to watch it.

I hope that I may be free to post this link here. I hope to see you this summer in the USA. Best wishes, Yvo

Wow, such gorgeous video. Your voice is so easy to listen to and the quality footage was very enjoyable. :) I kept thinking that wow, there are people that someday can watch this video and go "look, there is my fish!" And see what kind of people raised him or her. :) I will always wish I had koi in my life but not sure if I ever will be able to. I breed cattle though and I could somewhat relate on seeing a whole "crop" of animals and suddenly go "whoa look at that one!" In a way that didn't show as clearly when they were more spread out with moms in the fields but next to eachother it shows and some of them can stand out in this incredible way that I think can't be explained to those that have never felt it! I could tell too that these breeders have over a very long period of time valued good mentality as well besides good looks and I tend to think it says a lot about a great person when they are breeders with good mentality animals! No matter the species.

I am an australian koi enthusiast and this documentary was amazing thank you very much !! your a lucky man !!

I've planned on building a koi pond for some time and this is just more motivated. These fish are beautiful!

This video was absolutely amazing. Thank you SO much for taking us along with you on your koi buying trip. I've never had this experience myself, but would jump on the opportunity in a heartbeat. Noticed a few midorigoi in some of the holding tanks I would have gone for... they are my weakness. :) The gin rins are also truly stunning no matter their type.

This was such, and probably one of the most intriguing video's I've watched in a very long time. I learned a bunch of new things that have never occurred to my ignorant mind. I've always loved watching Koi in a pond and this video made them even more fascinating than ever. Now I want a Koi pond.

Omg this was a great video! It was more docu style that I like, amazing!!! I used to own a few koi and am considering getting into it again this spring. 🙏

I know this documentary is older but I thoroughly enjoyed it every single bit. I would have never got to see such a thing if it wasn't for this
