The other day, I watched an interesting TV show.
It was about a British airplane company which tried to improve their meals served to passengers during international flight.
In the middle of the show, there was a scene a chef hired by the company said Umami so many times. Umami is the fifth taste sensation and it was discovered by a Japanese scientist.
I was surprised because I had never seen non-Japanese used the word before.
I didn't know Umami is a common word.

i have heard the word umami on food network and while reaching it i saw that it meant savory. i like saying it ^^ U-MA-MI.
I laughed at how Umami is pronounced when I watched the show.
It was a little bit different from how we pronounce it.

Oh interesting! Although I've never heard it. ^^;
There are a lot of food which is rich in Umami such as cheese, tomato, soy sauce and mushrooms.
Umami is a key element for Japanese cuisine.
It's different from sweat, salty, bitter and sour tastes.
