Japanese cuisine is very rich in a special savoury flavour, known as taste No 5 or umame. Umame is said to trigger the sensation of delight in the brain when at least one of the primary tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty is also present. Literally translated as 'deliciousness.' We hope you can pick out and appreciate the natural umame taste in our freshly made Samsi sauces.
