It is preferable that the above-described agent for enriching body taste contains from 30 to 60% by mass of the hydrophobic amino acids as described above, from 35 to 65% by mass of the basic amino acids as described above and from 1 to 20% by mass of the acidic amino acids as described above, each based on the total free amino acids.
