電気味覚とは舌面に電気刺激を受けた時に感じられる味覚だ．今日では電気味覚計による味覚検査に活用されている．味質は多少個人差があり，基本的に苦味などが感じられる．
電気味覚の飲食分野への活用
これまでの電気味覚提示では直接電極を舌に当てていた．本研究では，電気味覚を調味料や添加物のように使えるようにした．
電気味覚の調味料としての特性
電気味覚を加えると塩味が強調される．ピリピリしたような刺激も感じる．甘いものとは相性がよくない．刺激の強さは飲食物の仕組みを変えるほどではない．

The Electric Taste is a taste sensation you get when an electric stimulus is felt on the tongue. We are currently measuring Electric Taste through a taste examination. The taste quality varies between people, but generally everyone can experience bitterness.
Electric Taste's use in the Realm of Food and Drink
Up to now, in Electric Taste exhibitions, we have directly applied electrodes to the tongue. In the original research this enabled us to use Electric Taste as a flavoring or additive.
The Traits of Electric Taste as a Flavoring
With the addition of Electric Taste, salty flavors become stronger. A tingling sensation is also felt. It is not compatible with sweet foods. The strength of the sensation is not enough to change the structure of food and drink.
