Umami - The Fifth Sense Of The Tongue

Umami, a savory taste is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty).Its existence was proposed by the Japanese since 1908 and in 1985, it was recognised as a scientific term.

It can be described as a pleasant brothy or meaty taste with a long lasting mouth-watering and coating sensation over the tongue.


(Don’t seem to remember my high school teacher  telling me this….)
