People usually believe that human taste buds can taste five tastes when they come into contact with food, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and in the Chinese vocabulary, there are often words related to taste such as five tastes, five tastes, five tastes and harmony. However, some people say that there is a taste is the sixth taste that mankind has discovered on the basis of the five tastes, which is fresh. Fresh is a taste of what is not really a specific definition, fresh seems to be more inclined to a feeling, and taste has nothing to do with, but the initial human understanding of the word fresh, and indeed is derived from a taste. The word fresh is composed of fish and sheep, in ancient times the interpretation of fish represents the fishy taste, sheep represents the stinky taste, both of which have the meaning of stinky, but the fishy taste of fish and the stinky taste of sheep mixed together in cooking, but not fishy, not stinky, but extremely fresh and delicious. To modern times has not only included fish and sheep, the most straightforward and simple explanation is that all the new seasonal food on the first taste of the taste, it can be seen that the fresh taste contains a necessary condition is seasonal, through artificial technology cultivated, no geographical and seasonal restrictions on food can only prove the wisdom of mankind, its taste than fresh or slightly inferior, through the pickling, drying and other ways to get a long period of time to facilitate Preserved food can only taste the taste of time, and can not be called fresh, the gift of nature is always the most original, the most authentic, the most pure.

　　However, the people are food, eating is a top important thing, and food is not just to eat, but also to pursue high-quality taste enjoyment, so, in order to maximize the freshness of food, humans have developed a taste of the greatest invention - MSG. Many people think that consuming MSG can be harmful to the body, that is because you have never eaten real MSG and do not know how the earliest MSG was produced. Many years ago, there was a professor named Kikunae Ikeda at the University of Tokyo in Japan, who was also a chemist, teaching and conducting scientific research. One evening in the summer of 1908, this man in his forties came home from the laboratory and his wife had prepared dinner for him, including a bowl of soup that was quietly emitting a distinctive aroma on the table: tofu stewed with seaweed. Kikunae Ikeda first ate the seaweed and tofu in the bowl and found the tofu stewed with the seaweed to be unusually tasty and refreshing, and then he drank the soup in the bowl and found that the soup stewed with the seaweed was even more flavorful than the seaweed and tofu themselves. He thought that the kelp had greatly enhanced the freshness, so the next day Ikeda Jumiao brought some kelp to the laboratory to do experiments and found that the kelp contained sodium glutamate, which is extremely pure and can stimulate freshness, and the white crystals extracted from it were MSG. The original MSG was extracted from kelp, but later, due to the high cost of extracting MSG from kelp, it was discovered that MSG could also be extracted from wheat and grain.

　　The word fresh has evolved to the point where it no longer just expresses a sense of taste, but also has many other meanings that are connected to the taste of fresh. The meaning of fresh also includes tender, just like the new buds in early spring, you want to touch it, but only dare to touch it gently with your fingertips, afraid to break its tender life. Fresh also has the meaning of juicy fat, like just ripe peach, a bite of juicy fat flesh thick, do not care whether it is sour or sweet, but that fatty juicy taste is enough to let you have a deep feeling of fresh. Fresh also expresses a soft luster of color, like green, red makeup like fresh and bright, not beautiful purple, thousands of red dazzling beauty, nor black clouds, white and flawless high cold and lonely. Fresh also contains a vitality of life, just like the early morning waning sun, there is temperature but not hot, light but not blinding, sharp but not poisonous, everything is just beginning to feel.
