‌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.
