A flavor inhaler of this invention includes an atomization section for generating an aerosol from an aerosol source, a flavor source provided downstream of the atomization section, a mouthpiece section provided downstream of the flavor source, a controlling section for controlling the atomization section, an aerosol flow path passing from the atomization section to the mouthpiece section, and an information source keeping identification information corresponding to a compensation value for compensating a reference aerosol amount which is the amount of aerosol generated in the atomization section and is the amount designed in advance. Between the atomization section and the flavor source, the aerosol flow path branches into a first branch flow path that passes through the flavor source and a second branch flow path that is different from the first branch flow path. The compensation value is a value related to a flow rate ratio of the flow rate of the first branch flow path with respect to a predetermined flow rate when sucking the mouthpiece section at a predetermined flow rate. The controlling section controls the atomization section based on a target aerosol amount calculated based on the reference aerosol amount and the compensation value.本發明之香味吸嚐器係具有：從霧氣源產生霧氣的霧化部；設在比霧化部更下游處的香味源；設在比香味源更下游處的吸口部；控制霧化部的控制部；從霧化部連通到吸口部的霧氣流路；以及用來保持識別資訊的資訊源；該識別資訊係與用以補正基準霧氣量的補正值相對應，該基準霧氣量係由霧化部產生的霧氣量，且為預先設計之量。霧氣流路係在霧化部與香味源之間，分支成供香味源通過的第1分流路、以及不同於第1分流路的第2分流路。補正值是與下述流量比相關的值：第1分流路的流量相對於以既定流量抽吸吸口部時的既定流量的流量比。控制部係根據依基準霧氣量及補正值算出的目標霧氣量來控制霧化部。
