The Fifth Taste > Umami


The four primary taste sensations are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The fifth taste is umami, meaning delicious along with meaty and savory suggestion.

Umami is a loanword from Japanese meaning roughly "tasty", although "brothy", "meaty", or "savory" have been proposed as alternative translations.

The same taste is also known as xiānwèi from Chinese, literally "Fresh Flavor" in Chinese cooking. In as much as it describes the flavor common to savory products such as meat, cheese, and mushrooms.
