Taste (Taste nerve)
Sweetness…mainly glucose (feeling that the thin alcohol, salty taste and taste are also sweet)
Sourness…It is called organic acid, and it has not only sourness but also bitterness, sweetness and astringency.
Salty…You can feel it not only from NaCL but from the whole mineral.
Bitterness…I feel strongly from the oxides of sugar and amino acids.
