What is the concept of Umami?

329 views

I’ve heard people say that it’s the feeling of “Satisfaction” while tasting something. It’s supposed to be present in a lot of unrelated foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, MSG, soy sauce, etc. How does a human “taste” Umami?

To a 5yr old, Asians would explain it as a unique mix of smell you can taste in your mouth. And proceed to feed you stuff with that powerful flavor. If you don’t have a great Asian restaurant nearby, see if you can buy some dried octopus strips or Bonito flakes online.

it’s close to the addicting extra ompf you get from a good ramen, taste of shellfish, and bone broth.
