Hey Japan? Yeah we already have three discreet words for "savory," "meaty," and "delicious" - you can have your ambiguous catch-all back.

Which one is that? Umami?

Sure but having a singular catchall for the phenomena around that taste is actually better and I would argue more discrete (wait wtf is it discrete or discreet?). Imagine if we had to describe the fundamental tastes like this:

  • Salty
  • Sweet
  • Sour
  • Bitter
  • Savory, meaty and delicious

discrete

That's the correct one for your usage of it.
