Umami

"There is a lot of salt and umami, so the 6yo wasn’t a fan, but that was fine because there was more for the rest of us!"

"Just as we remembered, the food was near-universally great; the cavalcade of introductory bites were particularly delicious, and so, too, was the abalone with asparagus, the bread-encrusted king salmon and the umami-packed wagyu main."

"Very warm, subtle floral notes and like the slightest hint of a sweet umami note."

"It comes with iconic dashima block which adds umami taste to the soup."

"The spicy mayo is mostly kewpie with some gochujang, and a splash of pickling liquid from picked onions for acid, and another splash of Bachan's for some salty/umami complexity."

"There’s not alot of complex notes or umami-ness in this as it is intended for sweets and baking but I do sense a hint of white chocolate in the aroma."
