>>511128700 (OP) MSG is a neurotoxin btw. They use it in the US, less than Japan but still frequently, and it's part of the reason food quality went to shit. I like when tourists all praise Japanese food for its unique taste, but never realize the food is absolutely doused in this stuff.
>>511129305 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.

>>511129258 Kek I recognize your style of posting. I don't know who you are, you may even be Japanese working for one of those sites like allnationz, but your style of satire always gets a laugh out of me.
>>511129305 umami is the meaty taste, which is why veganism never worked for anyone. you're literally programmed to crave meat, which is why eating bloody tender rare steak is an orgasmic experience, even more satisfying than double chocolate fudge cake. not even ozempic can quell the craving for meat.
