About
But the moment it is swallowed, the dryness rushes in all at once, and this two-stage assault is sure to make your jaw drop. The yeast used is Sekusy Yamamoto yeast, a kuratsuki bunri (a yeast strain isolated from within the brewery environment) discovered at this brewery in 2008 (Heisei 20). It was first named Sexy Yamamoto yeast, but Mr. Kobayashi of Yukinobijin said, "Sekusy is more interesting than Sexy, isn't it?" and so it was renamed Sekusy.
