Custmer Reviews
“It was nice and cozy first of all, I really liked the quiet atmosphere and how easily we could all talk to eachother. It was very interesting (and delicious) to taste the foods and really feel the difference Umami makes for flavour.“
Gynedd
”I had a lot of fun, it was kind of like tasting wine to figure out the components, but less vague.I didn’t know health benefits were associated with umami, and find it a bit weird because it is a flavour, not one specific ingredient, but it is still interesting and welcome information.”
Merijn
”It was a very fun experience. Great idea to organize this session, Kumi. I agree with you that Umami should deserve more attention, let’s advocate this amazing technique around the world 🌎”

Message from the organizer
Hello, nice to meet you.
The word ‘umami’ is well known all over the world, but do you know what it tastes like?
Umami is a taste sensation discovered by the Japanese about 100 years ago, but actually very few people know what umami tastes like even Japanese.
Umami is a very subtle and soft sensation, but it is a taste that has health benefits such as reducing salt and preventing obesity.
Umami is not unique to Japan. It can be enjoyed all over the world without having to buy special ingredients or seasonings.
Learning about umami is also a journey into the workings of humankind.
Why not get to know the gentle taste of umami and enjoy your daily meals?
I know Japanese Umami, but I’m learning European Umami. Please share me the Umami you know.
I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Moved from Japan to the Netherlands to promote umami from the Netherlands to the rest of the world.
I worked in the advertising industry for more than 25 years, but became fascinated by umami through fasting, and visited and researched producers, production areas and researchers in various regions of Japan. In the future, she plans to research umami in Europe and other parts of the world.
