Perhaps one might say that correspond more accurately to some nostalgic imagining of a flavor.

Thai and Italian chefs have their own versions of umami called nam pla and garum, respectively. Garum dates back to ancient Rome, but is used in many Amalfi Coast dishes---it is the "leakage" from the bottom of the barrels in which anchovies have been preserved in salt.

The alcohol in beer stimulates three sensory systems: taste (it's a little bitter), olfaction (many beers have a slightly sweet smell, while others smell to me like wet dog fur), and the trigeminal system (which is why beers can have a little bite). It's hard for alcohol-free beer to taste the same because it is the confluence of these elements that give beer its fully rounded flavor.

Virtual ingredients for food and beverages to create immersive taste experiences

This paper presents a new technology that overlays virtual taste sensations on food and beverages while eating and drinking. This additional layer of taste sensation enables modifying the existing taste sensations (flavors) of food and beverages ...
Communication by change in taste
CHI EA '11: CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper, we discuss the possibilities and enjoyment of communication by changes in taste, as well as the concept of expanding the sense of taste. When the tongue is electrically stimulated, it senses a characteristic taste. We developed various ...
Controlling Temporal Change of a Beverage's Taste Using Electrical Stimulation
CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper, we discuss concepts for improving beverage experience using electrical stimulation in terms of the requirements for the procedure (design space), previous study (completion), and limitations of conventional technologies. To improve ...
