The five senses in the dish come from the five senses we often talk about in life (vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch).
Color, aroma, taste, shape, and utensils are not the five senses that we often refer to when it comes to dishes.
The five senses that are emphasized in dishes are: color, aroma, taste, shape, and meaning.
Color - the sensory enjoyment given to the vision (eyes) among the five senses: represents color, specifically referring to the color of the finished food in the dish. The main emphasis in this section on color is to match it well. Color matching can highlight people's first feelings and first level, which is very important.
Fragrance - the sensory enjoyment given to the sense of smell (nose) among the five senses: represents aroma, specifically referring to the smell and smell emitted by the food in the dish. The fragrance section mainly focuses on the various aromas created by the fusion of various ingredients and seasonings. The dispersion of fragrance can arouse people's initial appetite, which is the second level, which is very important.
Taste - the sensory enjoyment given to the taste (tongue) among the five senses: represents taste, specifically referring to the special taste of the ingredients and seasonings in the dish. Such as: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, fresh, numb, etc. Delicious food can directly stimulate a stronger appetite, which is the third level. This is the highlight of all aspects of the dish. Delicious food can withstand people's aftertaste and careful tasting, and it is also the fundamental reason why people can't miss it.
Shape - the sensory enjoyment given to vision (eyes) and consciousness (psychology) among the five senses: represents form, specifically referring to whether the shape of food ingredients can make people feel pleasing to the eye. The beauty of good dishes not only feasts the eyes but also touches your soul. This is the fourth level.
Meaning-it needs the assistance of choosing appropriate utensils (that is, matching with the theme of the dish) before it can be fully reflected. The sensory enjoyment given to consciousness (psychology) among the five senses: represents the artistic conception, here specifically refers to the artistic conception presented by the final product of the dish. This is purely a feeling of the soul. According to legend, if the dishes can reach the upper level of artistic conception, people will feel the sublimation of the soul. This is the last level, and most people are not yet at the level to judge it.
We ordinary people only care about the first three levels. People who can consider the fourth level are gourmets who pursue delicious food. Those who care about the fifth level are only those who have the level of professional food tasting masters. Yes.
