Umami is not a taste
Sweet, sour, bitter, salty. We all know these.
Umami though? Let’s be real, it doesn’t exist.

It's like how some people think cilantro tates like soap and how asparagus makes some people's pee smell funny, it's genetic. Not all people have the ability to taste savory flavors. It still exists despite your ability to perceive it.

I am so glad I'm not one of the people who tastes soap when I eat cilantro! I absolutely LOVE the stuff, especially on tacos and in salsa!

You should be able to be more attuned to it as you get older. Like the sensation of sweet being much more powerful when you are a kid.

I just Googled it when it was referenced in the MSG question on here, and I'm a bit confused, myself. It says savory, but lists it different as salty. I've always associated savory with salty, but after reading responses here, perhaps it has a richer flavor?

It’s the taste of glutamate. It registers on your tongue, not the back of your nose.

It's a taste. Cant describe a taste to someone who cant taste. Savory is one of those tastes that no one had a good word for and just attributed it to whatever food was available.
