What is Umami?

Umami is the fifth taste — alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter — a rich, deep, savory satisfaction that’s hard to define but impossible to forget. It comes from naturally occurring glutamates found in ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes, aged cheese, soy, and anchovies. The Umami Tsunami packs multiple high-glutamate ingredients into one blend for a layered, complex umami experience that elevates every dish.
