Product Description
Hi Utsuri are like Showa in that they are a black skinned Koi, but Hi Utsuri only have one pattern, red. A good Hi Utsuri will have a nice balance between the red (hi) and black (sumi). When selecting a Hi Utsuri, look for a unique pattern. Also, look for any lighter black spots - these will become darker as the Koi ages.
Many of our customers (and their kids) describe the Hi Utsuri as the "tiger stripe koi". It's one of our personal favorites!
