Editing Umami (section)

==Etymology==
A [[loanword]] from Japanese {{nihongo||うま味}}, ''umami'' can be translated as "pleasant savory taste".<ref>{{cite web |url = http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic |title = EDICT's entry for ''umami'' | author = Breen J |access-date = 5 December 2017}}</ref> This [[wikt:neologism|neologism]] was coined in 1908 by Japanese chemist [[Kikunae Ikeda]] from a [[nominalization]] of ''umai'' ({{nihongo2|うまい}}) "delicious". The compound {{nihongo2|旨味}} (with ''mi'' ({{nihongo2|味}}) "taste") is used for a more general sense of a food as delicious.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jsrae.or.jp/annai/yougo/188.html|title=うま味 (umami)|publisher=Japan Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers|access-date=5 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://umamibook.net/what-is-umami|title=What is umami?|publisher=[[Columbia University Press]]|access-date=5 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/umami |title=Umami |work=[[Cambridge Dictionary]]|publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |access-date=1 January 2011}}</ref> There is no English equivalent to ''umami''; however, some close descriptions are "meaty", "savory", and "broth-like".<ref name="Yamaguchi_2000"/>
