I like the word 'umami', but it's weird to me that they don't just use 'savory' which is the same thing. Cool that it's been figured out receptor-wise.
Savory is kinda salty. Umami is kinda buttery
Umami is just a Japanese neologism for savoury. In my food science course at uni the two terms are used interchangeably.
