Zusammenfassung:In the West, we have identified only four basic tastes?sour, sweet, salty, and bitter?that, through skillful combination and technique, create delicious foods. Yet in many parts of East Asia over the past century, an additional flavor has entered the culinary lexicon: umami, a fifth taste impression that is savory, complex, and wholly distinct.

Umami can be found in.
