What is Umami? Why Umami?
The Fifth Taste: Umami
You know sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Umami is the mysterious fifth taste—a deep, savory sensation that defines Japanese cuisine. It's the natural depth and savory satisfaction found in ingredients like dried kelp (kombu) and fermented products. Simply put: Umami is the soul of authentic Japanese flavor.
Why Umami?
I focus on Umami because it’s the blueprint for all authentic Japanese taste. We start by understanding the Umami theory, then move to the practical side: mastering Dashi (Japanese Stock), where Umami is most powerfully concentrated. This knowledge gives you the permanent skill to make Japanese dishes anywhere!
