週末しゅうまつ　に　二ふたつ　の　レストラン　の　味あじ　を　比くらべること　に　します。shuumatsu ni futatsu no resutoran no aji o kuraberukoto ni shimasu.

I’ve decided to compare the tastes of two restaurants this weekend.

料理本りょうりほん　を　読よみ返かえす　うち　に、　同おなじ　砂糖さとう　と　塩しお　で　も　入いれ方かた　で　味あじ　が　変かわること　に　気きづきました。ryourihon o yomikaesu uchi ni, onaji satou to shio de mo irekata de aji ga kawarukoto ni kizukimashita.

As I reread the cookbook, I realized that even with the same sugar and salt, the taste changes depending on how you put them in.

この　レストラン　は　味あじ　だけ　で　なく、　料理りょうり　の　質しつ　も　いい　です。kono resutoran wa aji dake de naku, ryouri no shitsu mo ii desu.

At this restaurant, not only the taste but also the quality of the food is good.

I like the taste of miso.

野菜やさい　を　よく　煮にる　と、　スープ　の　味あじ　が　よく　なります。yasai o yoku niru to, suupu no aji ga yoku narimasu.

If you simmer the vegetables well, the soup tastes better.

しょうが　と　ねぎ　を　入いれる　と、　スープ　の　味あじ　が　もっと　よく　なります。shouga to negi o ireru to, suupu no aji ga motto yoku narimasu.

When you add ginger and green onions, the soup tastes even better.

ごま　を　かけた　もやし　は、　見みた目め　ほど　味あじ　が　強つよく　ない　ので、　子供こども　で　も　食たべやすい　です。goma o kaketa moyashi wa, mitame hodo aji ga tsuyoku nai node, kodomo de mo tabeyasui desu.

Bean sprouts with sesame on them do not taste as strong as they look, so even children can eat them easily.

この　スープ　は　味あじ　が　薄うすい　ので、　もう　少すこし　塩しお　を　入いれます。kono suupu wa aji ga usui node, mou sukoshi shio o iremasu.

This soup tastes weak, so I add a little more salt.

鼻はなづまり　で　味あじ　が　よく　分わからなかった　が、　温あたたかい　スープ　を　飲のんだら　少すこし　楽らく　に　なった。hanazumari de aji ga yoku wakaranakatta ga, atatakai suupu o nondara sukoshi raku ni natta.

Because of my stuffy nose, I could not taste things well, but after drinking warm soup I felt a little better.
