What is Umami?

Umami is often described as a savory or meaty taste that enhances the overall flavor of a dish. Discovered by Japanese scientist Kikunae Ikeda in 1908, umami is now recognized as one of the five basic tastes alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Foods rich in umami compounds, such as glutamate and nucleotides, create a sensation that is both delicious and satisfying.
