味わう
あじわう · ajiwau · JLPT N2 · verb-godan
to savor
👅🍵 味 aji = taste, + わう: aji-WOW, the taste is so good you slow down
味 (aji) is the plain noun for taste or flavour. Adding わう turns it into a verb meaning to take in that taste, the same ending found in 賑わう (to be lively). So 味わう is to taste on purpose, savouring food or an experience.
