Additional Information


Chasing flavors has been the most significant aspect of my culinary journey, a journey that has taken me through diverse cuisines, techniques, and ingredients, each contributing to my evolving palate. Throughout this exploration, I have discovered that the flavor I crave most is umami, a taste that is not only captivating but also rich in its subtleties, depth, and complexity.


Often called the fifth taste, umami stands alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty, possessing a quality that is both elusive and hard to describe. It remains on the palate, creating a lasting impression that can transform a dish from ordinary to extraordinary. The pursuit of enhancing umami flavor resulted in the discovery of MSG (monosodium glutamate) by a Japanese scientist in 1908.

Umami is found in a variety of ingredients, such as ripe tomatoes, aged cheeses, mushrooms, and fermented products like soy sauce and miso. Each of these components contributes to the overall experience of a dish, creating layers of flavor that invite the diner to savor each bite. The beauty of umami lies in its ability to enhance and deepen the flavors of other ingredients, creating a harmonious balance that is both satisfying and memorable.
