Umami Seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO®

Umami Seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO® was invented more than 100 years ago with the aspiration to improve the nutritional status of Japanese people. Umami Seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO® is the world’s first MSG and the only one in Vietnam which is originated from Japan, produced from naturally sourced ingredients of tapioca starch.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Professor Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, at Tokyo Imperial University, discovered a unique taste available in various kinds of foods, especially in delicious dishes. This taste could not be classified into four well-known basic tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. The unique taste was created by glutamate. He called it “Umami”. Umami is described as a delicious, meaty, and savory taste, created by glutamate.

Thanks to the Umami discovery of Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, in 1909, Umami Seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO® was first launched into the market and the invention of Umami Seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO® is considered to be one of the greatest inventions of Japan in the 20th century.
