About
Hariwake Koi represent one of the most striking metallic varieties in the koi world, distinguished by their brilliant platinum-white base adorned with lively yellow or orange patterns. These graceful fish are bred from Kohaku and Platinum Ogon lineages, combining the best qualities of both parent varieties to create a truly spectacular appearance.

The Hariwake’s most enchanting feature is its mirror-like platinum base, which creates a stunning contrast with its metallic patterns. Whether displaying the popular lemon-yellow hues or rich orange markings, each Hariwake offers a unique artistic display in the water. The variety has evolved since its inception in the 1950s to include several distinctive subtypes, including the scaleless Doitsu Hariwake, Butterfly Hariwake, and the glittering Gin Rin Hariwake.
