Umami is a savory taste and is recognized as the fifth taste sensation alongside sweet, sour, bitter and salty.

Umami is used to describe a food as delicious.

The sensation of umami can be recognised as a gratifying 'brothy' taste with a long lasting, mouth watering and coating sensation over the tongue.

This sensation is due to the detection of amino acids that are responsible for this effect.

Umami complements the palatability and amplifies the taste intensity.
