You're correct: That's when the imported doitsu arrived, Junichi-san.

Whereas I believe 'Tonio is revealing to us the long lost history of the native born and bred doitsu gin rin kigoi -- an exceedingly rare fish that has only recently begun to receive attention here in the West.

The first Peruvian, traveled to Japan in 1895, with him he brought the famous, 'fingerling" that was planted In Himitsu. This is were the name for baby koi came from.

Tonio just thought I would add a few more details, to the history of Doitsu.

Fingerlings get their name from their looks - they look like stubby fingers. They have a BIG flavor and wonderful varieties and colors. Great roasted, most hold their shape well and can be used in salads. They are also great sautéed, boiled, steamed, grilled, or fried. Fingerlings are a specialty heirloom variety. As with most heirloom varieties, fingerlings tend to be less starchy and are therefore lower on the Glycemic Index scale.

Here is an added note: Samurai would gather in the town off Himitsu to eat the famous fingerlings before battle. It was said that the fingerlings would keep the Samurai focused on the job at hand.

Is that any thing like chicken fingers? Or do they just taste like chicken?

"during the potato uprising in the town of Himitsu"

so did the potaoes revolt and demand thier due respect or what?
was it violent or a peaceful protest?
did the Samurai who valued them so highly come to thier aid?
