umami

‌a taste that is not sour, bitter, salty, or sweet, found in some foods such as meat, etc.

What is "umami"?

Umami is often described as the fifth basic taste, alongside sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness. It is a savory or meaty taste sensation that is characteristic of foods containing glutamate, a type of amino acid. Umami is often found in foods such as meats, cheeses, mushrooms, tomatoes, and fermented products like aged cheeses and soybean paste. It adds depth, richness, and complexity to dishes, enhancing their overall flavor profile.

What is "pungency"?

Pungency refers to a strong, sharp, or intense sensation that is often perceived as a burning or prickling feeling in the mouth, nose, or throat. It is typically associated with certain foods, spices, or ingredients that have a sharp or spicy flavor profile. Foods with pungent flavors can stimulate the senses and add depth and complexity to dishes, but they can also be overpowering if used in excess. Pungency is often experienced as a temporary sensation that fades relatively quickly, leaving behind a lingering warmth or spiciness.
