Buy traditional Kohaku and Sanke from Torazo Koi Farm, a historic Niigata breeder known for clean patterns and strong lineage. Selected by Fitz’s Fish Ponds.

Torazo Koi Farm is one of the oldest and most respected koi farms in Niigata, Japan, with a legacy that spans over 90 years. Founded in 1917 and currently operated by Torazo Igarashi, the farm has stayed true to its roots while continuously refining its craft. Known primarily for exceptional Kohaku and Sanke, Torazo has built a name around simplicity, elegance and a strong connection to traditional koi breeding techniques.

The farm’s Kohaku are admired for their snowy white base and vibrant, well-placed red markings. Unlike more modern experimental patterns, Torazo Kohaku tend to feature clean, symmetrical layouts with a refined, timeless appeal. Their Sanke offers a similar level of polish, with balanced sumi spots layered over the traditional red and white base. These koi are bred from carefully preserved bloodlines that have been cultivated over generations.

What’s more, Torazo places emphasis on koi that look great from the beginning. Many of their fish display strong visual traits, which gives collectors and hobbyists the chance to enjoy a koi’s full potential early on. While the farm remains mid-sized compared to some larger operations, that scale allows for a more focused and personal breeding approach.

Fitz’s Fish Ponds works directly with Torazo Koi Farm to source standout Kohaku and Sanke that carry the signature Torazo look. Every season, our team travels to Niigata to hand-pick koi based on their pattern strength, color placement and overall pond appeal. If you're drawn to traditional koi with enduring elegance, Torazo koi delivers in every category.
