Umami
Umami—the elusive "fifth taste" that elevates dishes with its deep, savory richness, celebrated across global cuisines.
Quick fact: The discovery of umami
In 1908, Japanese chemist Dr. Kikunae Ikeda identified umami as a distinct taste while studying the flavor of kombu dashi, a broth made from seaweed. He isolated glutamate as the source of this savory taste and named it "umami," meaning "pleasant savory taste" in Japanese. This discovery led to the creation of monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a flavor enhancer. In 1985, umami was officially recognized as the fifth basic taste, alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
Wearing this tee is a nod to the profound impact of umami on culinary traditions worldwide. It's perfect for those who appreciate the science and flavor that make dishes unforgettable.
