Momotaro Koi Farm

The house

Momotaro Koi Farm was established in 1984 by Maeda Toshio in Kita-ku, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, and is run today by his son, Daisuke Maeda. The farm built its international reputation by pairing modern aquaculture technology — proprietary filtration systems and refined feed formulations — with traditional Gosanke (Kohaku, Sanke, Showa) breeding, becoming particularly known for redefining koi growth rates and body size. Its Kamuy and Mako bloodlines are noted for producing nisai (second-year) koi reaching 70 to 75 centimeters, among the largest in the industry, and the farm raises roughly 12 million fry annually through selective breeding.
