Umami and Savory are different. Umami is a specific taste, recognized as the fifth basic taste (after sweet, bitter, salty, and sour), this Umami is what gives food its satisfying taste. Japanese man defined Umami, its concept previously unknown in the west. Japan introduced the key element to world cuisine and gastronomy.

People often equate them, but that's a simplification. Savory is a broader descriptor, often including salt, richness, and even fat. But Umami is distinct, a taste triggered by glutamate on the tongue.

I'm a weeb but we already had a word for "umami" in English. It's called "savory." The whole "umami" thing is a globohomo psyop just like how coriander got renamed to "cilantro" for no reason.

To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to recognize Umami.
>Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, the creater of Ajinomoto, in 1912
>"An attentive taster will find … something common in the complicated taste of asparagus, tomato, cheese, and meat, which is quite peculiar and cannot be classified under any of the four basic tastes, sweet, sour, salty and bitter. It is usually so faint and overshadowed by other stronger tastes, that it is often difficult to recognize it unless the attention is specially directed towards it."

only America calls coriander, cilantro.
everyone else calls it coriander.
the only correct use of cilantro is in direct reference to its leaves, any other part of the plant or the plant as a whole should be referred to as coriander, coriander stem, coriander root etc

Kikunae's insight was truly ahead of its time. His quote highlights how Umami can be subtle, which is why it took so long to be appreciated globally. You have to consciously tune in to detect that depth.

We have another synonym for that in English. We describe food with an excessive amount of glutamates as tasting "rich."

Japan is an Umami paradise. Japan's top 30 ingredients are more Umami-rich than the top 5 ingredients in the west. Non-Japanese people have poor grasp of Umami.

Those things do taste rich though. You don't have to swing from the nuts of foreigners your entire life, oh wait >nasi goreng
Never mind I forgot you guys like browns more than your own people
Before Umami, "sweet, salty, sour, bitter" were the core taste categories. But thanks to Ajinomoto, we gained a whole new taste "Umami". It changed how people think about flavor.

What's up with all the huge differences between the list for the same item? Chicken and pork in the US are 3882 and 3529 yet japanese chicken breast is 5800 and pork is 5900? Not to mention parmesan cheese is 8440 in US and 9900 in japan? That doesn't even make sense because there is no regional difference between US and japan in parmesan cheese, parmesan can only be made in one specific region in Italy and is imported in both countries. It sounds more like you japs are so infatuated with umami that you overexaggerated the numbers.

to be fair the flavour of umami is basically 'savoury' but it is a distinct flavour and is detected by specific receptors on the tonge so is a legit assertion.

The anti-MSG hysteria was pure xenophobia. MSG was unfairly demonized in the West. No scientific evidence ever proved it was harmful in normal amounts. But the myth stuck — partly because of racism and ignorance.

umami just means savory, but weaboos say umami, and anti-white people think that Japan thought up a flavor that somehow all the rest of the world missed.
