Select Nishikigoi has revolutionised the art of high-end koi procurement.
Founded by Deron Simons, we offer privileged access to Japan’s most prestigious breeders through a carefully crafted procurement system that puts our clients first.
Our infrastructure matches our ambition: featuring over 100,000 gallons of premium holding facilities in the UK and a dedicated fish house in Niigata. But what truly sets us apart is our groundbreaking achievement – the first UK-owned fish farm in Yamakoshi Village, the hallowed birthplace of Nishikigoi.
In this koi sanctuary, we nurture future champions from their earliest stages. Each year, Deron personally selects premium Tosai (young koi) from top breeders, identifying potential champions through decades of expertise. These carefully chosen Tategoi (koi with potential) develop in our natural mud ponds, where they’re monitored and cultivated under Deron’s experienced eye.
Our Yamakoshi facility operates under strict Niigata Inland Fisheries Department oversight
Regular health testing meets Japan's rigorous standards
UK arrivals undergo six weeks of quarantine in climate-controlled conditions
