Taste common in tomatoes and mushrooms

I believe the answer is:

umami

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

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
