Taste buds are neuroepithelium , which is one of the main kinds of epithelial tissue . They are present on small structures called " papillae " on the tongue , the upper part of the esophagus , the soft palate and the epiglottis .
They are responsible for taste perception : knowing what different foods and beverages taste like .
