dick,

I would love to go on an asagi harvest too, but so far i have not found the time in my schedule to arange it.  I have dropped by Otsuka a couple times already just to see the fish (great gentleman too, even though i'm not a buyer and just looking he is happy and proud to take time netting fish to show off to me). Great asagi of course, so many are such a brilliant white they look nearly platinum. He has some diamond scale asagi tosai, including one gin riin kaneko (with red-centered scales up the back half. i was very tempted to scoop it up regardless of my lack of budget and pond space this year).

I will see if i can get some pictures of the harvest posted soon.
