PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means capable of distinguishing the taste of an oral medicine in a state as near as possible to an actual state. SOLUTION: A solvent 20 is allowed to flow to a holding part 12 holding an object (a) to be distinguished and the solvent 20 flowing through the holding part 12 is measured by a taste sensor to distinguish the taste of the object to be distinguished. If the flow rate of the solvent is set to about 1 ml/min, the solvent can be supplied to the object to be distinguished in an amount almost equal to that of saliva secreted in the oral cavity and the taste of the object to be distinguished can be distinguished by the taste sensor. |
