Greek character going round with French pal, showing taste (5)

I believe the answer is:

umami

(Other definitions for umami that I've seen before include "Japanese word for pleasant savoury taste" , "Fifth flavour" , "meaty taste" , "Newly discovered taste" , "Savoury taste sensation produced by glutamates - I, a mum (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
