	This might be more suited for the science category

	Never heard of the "fifth taste" before. Interesting.

	I believe "savory" is often used as a translation for umami.

	Thalia's right. You should accept "savory" and "savoriness" for umami.

	Umami?????? I've never even heard that word.

	I've heard umami before and I knew it was the one I was missing, I just couldn't recall it. Oops. Though I did try savory, which should probably work as well. I prefer umami though.

	The non-US spelling 'savoury' should be accepted, too.

	I definitely tried unami instead of umami a million times.........and then I tried savory.

	The above comments are interesting. I have never heard of umami.
