Yume Koi Japan 

Mike Snaden first started Yume Koi in Bristol England in 2000 and is now known globally within the Nishikigoi Industry. Mike dedicated years visiting Japan to create relationships with the southern breeders, many of whom were relatively unknown here in the UK and Europe.  During this time in Japan, he learned and gained vast amounts of knowledge about choosing the highest quality koi at a young age with potential to grow jumbo. The koi Mike introduced to the UK we feel changed people’s perspective on true high-quality koi and jumbo koi. He has supplied countless major award-winning koi since 2000

In the UK, Mike pioneered Bakki Showers, Drums and Reverse Osmosis in koi ponds, which created a new direction of pond design and filtration. 

From England Mike moved to Japan with his business to create Yume Koi Japan, where he follows the same ethos and enthusiasm, just on a much larger scale. The Yume Koi Japan facility is very impressive, with Mike’s personally designed ponds, which are unique to Japan. Created to raise koi to jumbo sizes also conditioning them for koi shows in Japan. It’s certainly inspiring to see! Due to being based in Japan, Mike also ships koi worldwide.

We first met Mike around 2005, since regularly visiting Japan with him we have learned a considerable amount of knowledge from him…which we are still learning! To us, he’s got to be the most honourable man in the industry.
