Umami is the fifth taste that is not bitter, sweet, salty or sour. It makes food more enjoyable and gives it a unique flavor. Many seafood dishes have this taste even if it is covered up. We can call it the "5th taste" but it is a Japanese word that expresses the flavor in a powerful way.

umami

Scientists discovered in the early 1900s that the substance glutamate was responsible for taste. Tomatoes are the most flavorful natural food. Glutamate is also found in meat, cheese, and asparagus. When glutamate is combined with salt, it creates a stronger umami flavor, which is why tomatoes taste even better when you sprinkle them with salt.
