Savory taste (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umami

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">savory taste</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

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

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily, The New York Times, the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
