Founded in 1997 just outside Los Angeles, California, Mystic Koi has become one of the premier importers of koi in the United States. Our store not only features a beautiful retail environment with display ponds but also offers everything you need to start and maintain a pond. From state-of-the-art filtration systems to the highest quality food and plants for water gardens, Mystic Koi is a full-service destination for koi enthusiasts. We are dedicated to sharing our wealth of knowledge, guiding hobbyists toward success in their koi-keeping journey.
Shawn McHenry, the CEO and a lifelong koi lover, has been visiting Japan since he was 18, building strong relationships with some of the top koi breeders in the country. Passionate about spreading the appreciation of koi through education, Shawn is well-known for his YouTube series with The Pond Digger, as well as his in-depth videos that explore the nuances of koi appreciation. He has had the honor of judging koi shows not only across the U.S. but also internationally, including in the Philippines and Japan.
While Mystic Koi is renowned for importing some of the finest and most famous koi from Japan, we are equally committed to offering koi of all sizes, qualities, and prices to bring the joy of koi-keeping into every home in America
