The of this study was to the abilities of Northeast Asians to discriminate sweetness on foods and their preference sweetness. Panels of Korean, Japanese and Chinese three sample -sucrose solutions, bulgogi, julienned radish salad- in which the sucrose levels had been manipulated to produce five samples of each. The sucrose solutions were prepared 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% sucrose to the water. Bulgogi and julienned radish salad 3%, 9%, 15%, 21%, 27% sucrose to the recipe. As, the three ethnic groups significant differences in test of sweetness in sucrose solutions(79%). Korean(a=1.164) to be the most sweetness, compared to Japanese(a=1.063) and Chinese(a=0.999). All ethnic groups preferred $3{sim}7%$ solution, and Korean than Japanese and Chinese. Ethnic groups significant differences in sweetness of the julienned radish salad 21% sucrose. Korean(a=1.054) appeared to be the most able to detect the sweetness, compared to their Japanese(a=0.785) and Chinese(a=0.642). Both Korean and Japanese the strongest preference for the 15% julienned radish salad, the Chinese preferred the 21%. The abilities of ethnic groups to detect the sweetness in bulgogi significant differences high concentration(more than 27%), and the result of regression analysis on the awareness of sweet taste order Korean(a=0.918), Japanese(a=0.832), Chinese(a=0.690). All groups preferred the $9{sim}21%$ bulgogi the most, Japanese showed higher preference 15% bulgogi than did Korean and Chinese.
