I bought two tosai momotaro kohakus few years ago from a local
dealer here in Norcal. They were same size. One has a deep red
that I picked by myself. The other one has very thin hi and kind
of orange like Mike's Sanke. I didn't appriciate much for the orange
tone as well as so thin to me at that time. But this one was picked
by AKCA judge Larry Gil, who happened was there at that time.
With all respects to Larry, I bought it without any question.

About one year later in my pond, the color of this orange became vey
thick and very very beautiful bright and deep persimmon. It is one of my best
kohaku in my pond now. So, since it is tosai, be patient. The beautiful
of it will come ......
