Your local Sakai dealer should be able to get it for you. Best to give whoever is bidding for you a budget so that he'll know when to stop .

Btw you better hurry if you want a shot at the kohaku. Most dealers going for the auction are leaving this weekend.

Interesting the prices on these fish. In the states, I only know of a few people that spend that kind of money. Remember, these are wholesale prices. Raise your hand if you have ever spent 20,000 on a fish. I dare you. I won't tell your spouse.
