Savory food quality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umami

'savory food quality' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
