风味

• Pinyin: fēng wèi
• Desglose de hanzi: 风 = 几 + 虫 (wind, manner, style); 味 = 口 + 未 (mouth + not yet — taste, flavour, what the mouth has not yet fully processed)

Significado

Sabor característico; toque propio (especialmente de una cocina o región).

Most commonly used for food (地方风味 — local flavours, 风味小吃 — local specialty snacks), but can extend to literary or artistic style. Implies something authentic and characteristic rather than generic. 别有一番风味 (has a distinctive charm all its own) is a set phrase.
