What is Umami?

232 views

I’m falling in love with cooking and I see on all these shows talk about Umami with ingredients. I get the idea behind the flavor but they don’t excite my taste buds. I feel like I’m missing something.

I have read all the comments on this thread and have absolutely no idea what umami still is. I am seeing it tastes like tomatoes, meat drippings, salty but not salty, msg-related taste, etc. I googled umami, and not seeing much of a straight answer…

So is this a prominent taste, or is it more or a vague background taste because it’s seeming to be something that isn’t obvious
