So…What are Dainichi Koi Foods?
Quite simply, they are the Gold Standard of advanced koi nutrition!
When we established Dainichi Koi Food in 1996, with encouragement and support of Mano Minoru of the Dainichi Yorijo, the goal was to produce a new type of ultra-high quality of koi food never-before seen at any level of koi husbandry.
One of the main requirements was to produce food not only using the best and freshest ingredients possible, but also by using a novel processing techniques not utilized by any other food manufacturers. And of course, the food had to be formulated to provide growth, nutrition and physical beauty needed to raise Grand Champion quality koi. The result are the Dainichi Koi Food we all can enjoy today.

Here is where the Dainichi magic happens.
After the extruded pellets cool down to ambient temperature, they undergo another major manufacturing process. Ingredients which suffer any degradation from exposure to heat during extrusion process, are subsequently mixed into a slurry which we apply the the pellets. This is not a token and inconsequential “encapsulation” but a true nutritional layer of ingredients comprising as much as 12% of the pellet’ weight. Thus, the prebiotics, vitamins, appetite stimulants and color enhancers applied at this low temperature, provide un-compromised levels of nutrition and potency. Dainichi is the only food producer in the world to offer this level of potency and nutrition.
No other un-encapsulated food can match these levels of performance, not even our own Inochi Koi Foods. This encapsulation process is extremely costly and labor intensive, easily doubling the cost of manufacture, which is why we, Dainichi Fish Food are the only manufacturer in the world to offer this feature.
