I'm trying to parse (put spaces between each word) the following sentence in
the picture attached:

![Sentence ](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjuoE.png)

I've tried Recognizing the Characters using an app and got this :

好みの潰さで味ゎぅ

I recognize that there are three kanjis here which i'm not sure about. And for
the last two characters (wa and u) I don't know if it was supposed to be in
the small version like that.

1) Firstly I want to verify that the results of the recognition are correct
according to the picture. Please cmiiw

2) Secondly, how does it supposed to be like if the sentence is parsed into
separated words in japanese?

3) What is the correct romanized transcription of this sentence?

Regards

Sidenote : i'm a newbie learning japanese. Only 2 or 3 times I've posted here.
Definitely Not an expert...not even a beginner..he

Padding of 好みの潰さで味ゎぅ
The second kanji doesn't look like 潰 but
[農【のう】](https://jisho.org/search/%E8%BE%B2) which in 農家【のうか】 means farmer, but
with a [water radical](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%B0%B5%20%23kanji)
attached. [濃【のう】](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%BF%83) is the character you're
looking for which has nothing to do with farming or agriculture but is
pronounced the same, and means dark in color, thick or concentrated.

It can also be an i-adjective, 濃い【こい】.

Since さ is used right after 濃, which can be used to [nominalize
adjectives](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/complete/more_amounts#Expressing_degree_with),
I think it's 濃さ【こさ】 not 濃【のう】.

[の between two
nouns](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/nounparticles#The_particle)
- XのY- usually is like "X of Y" or "X's Y" depending on what the context is.

[好み](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%A5%BD%E3%81%BF) could be read このみ, meaning
liking or preference, or よしみ meaning friendship, connections, intimacy.

[味わう【あじわう】](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%91%B3%E3%82%8F%E3%81%86%0A) is a
transitive 五段【ごだん】 verb meaning _to taste_.

[で](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/particles2.html) can be used in various
ways, but one I know of is with or by, or by way of, as in :

> バスで来【き】ました。

meaning (I) came _by_ bus.

To summarize,

1) The second kanji is _incorrect_ , but the 2 other kanji _are_ correct. The
last two kana characters are a verb suffix and should not be written using the
small version.

2) The full sentence in Japanese is:

> 好【この】みの濃【こ】さで味【あじ】わう。

You wouldn't write Japanese with spaces between each word, that would be
unnatural in Japanese.

If you did break the words apart as a learning tool only, it would be :

> 好【この】み の 濃【こ】さ で 味【あじ】わう

3) The Hepburn romanization would be _konomi no kosa de ajiwau_.

Anyways, 頑張って【がんばって】 in your quest of learning 日本語【にほんご】!
