Taste a bit of satsuma Miss? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umami

'taste' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a bit of satsuma miss?' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'UMAMI' is hidden within 'satsuma miss'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
