Umami is a neat concept. Taken to its most basic description; umami is when our senses come together and sing. They don't just work as a team... they create some crazy sort of magic.

"It didn't just taste good, this was an epiphany. This was the best food you ever tasted in your life."
But because it was neither sweet, bitter, sour, salty, as far as the scientists were concerned, it wasn't real. People may smack their lips and drool, but what they were tasting wasn't really there. It was all in their heads.

I think umami is an all encompassing concept that stretches far past food and into all parts of life. I am striving for umami all the time.
ps. If you want to get an umami headache, add some monosodium glutamate to your next bowl of noodles.
