Comparing Umami to films including Babel and Tampopo, a review in Stuff called it "a whimsical film that stays on the right side of cloying".

[5]
Adding salt to the free acids also enhances the umami taste. [23] It is disputed whether umami is truly an independent taste because standalone glutamate without table salt ions(Na+) is perceived as sour; sweet and umami tastes share a taste receptor subunit, with salty taste blockers reducing discrimination between monosodium glutamate and ...

This is classified as one of the five basic tastes (the word "umami" is a loanword from Japanese; it is also referred to as "savory" or "meaty"). The flavoring effect of glutamate comes from its free form, in which it is not bound to other amino acids in protein. Nonetheless, glutamate by itself does not elicit an intense umami taste.
[4] [5] The taste of garum is thought to be comparable to that of today's Asian fish sauces. [6] Like modern fermented fish sauce and soy sauce, garum was a rich source of umami flavoring due to the presence of glutamates.

Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides or I+G, E number E635, is a flavor enhancer which is synergistic with glutamates in creating the taste of umami. It is a mixture of disodium inosinate (IMP) and disodium guanylate (GMP) and is often used where a food already contains natural glutamates (as in meat extract) or added monosodium glutamate (MSG). It is ...
