>Kikunae Ikeda (池田 菊苗 8 October 1864 – 3 May 1936) was a Japanese chemist and Tokyo Imperial University professor of Chemistry who, in 1908, uncovered the chemical basis of a taste he named umami. It is one of the five basic tastes along with sweet, bitter, sour and salty.
Do you like Umami?
Isaac Anderson
Yep. My favorite way to get that flavor is using mushrooms, tomatoes, or Worcestershire sauce.
Liam Sanders
Never heard of it.
Parker Butler
Any English speaker who says "umami" instead of savory is an asshole.
Easton Williams
no, but I do like URMOMMA
Hudson Sanchez
They're different, you pleb.
Kevin Hill
Japs discovered it, they get to name it.
Daniel Hill
Explain how faggot.
Blake Hughes
Here's a simple thing that hopefully even you can understand. >grilled steak - savory, not umami >grilled mushrooms - umami, not savory
Tyler Anderson
See what I mean? Assholes, every one.
"Umami" is literally translated as "savory taste," you dumb fucks.
Nicholas Brown
You're a fucking moron. A fucking moron with shit tastebuds.
Hudson Cruz
No argument? Fantastic. Great post. I rate it 10/10.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Who the fuck are you to call "no argument"? You've not posted anything relevant, you dumbfuck.
Jayden Cox
>translated Right, and translations are imperfect and leave out important nuances from the original language. That's why superior english speakers use the foreign word, "umami" instead of savory. The Japanese language has a word meaning savory as well. Stop projecting your tribal ooga-booga nationalism onto fucking cooking terms, Billy Bob.
Hunter Bennett
And now you're even reusing my insults. You fucking cumdump.
Dominic Lewis
Alright weeb. I'll bow before your "superior Asian culture" just because you like cowtits loli porn and Digimon.
Levi Ortiz
Saying umami is a taste is like pretending alcohol buzz or weed high are taste.
Levi Butler
Sure, because you invented the word "dumbfuck", you pantywaist, delusional hysteric.
Chase Nelson
Go back to fucking your sister and STFU, Cleetus.
Robert Roberts
But mushrooms are savory?
Jeremiah Long
No, mushrooms are umami.
Levi Fisher
But they're savory just like a steak is savory.
Jacob Russell
旨味 is more like "delicious flavor", there's no real implication for savory.
Eli Sullivan
there are 5 flavor receptors on taste buds. there is only one that receives the umami/savory flavor. they are the same thing
David Brooks
potatoes can be savory. savory isnt a taste buddie. umami is a part of the palate, it detects meat
Justin Williams
pretty much everything that is umami is savoury. however, there are plenty of things which are savoury but not umami. umami is a specific savoury taste that was not appreciated in isolation before the last century. a big bowl of mashed potatoes is not particularly rich in umami but it's definitely savoury.
>grilled steak - savory, not umami lol no.
Lucas Parker
It's my favorite flavor with salty being a close second.
