The fifth taste — savory, elusive, and deeply human. This issue explores the chemistry of flavor and the cinema of nourishment. Between molecule and memory, Umami asks how we perceive the world through what we eat, and what we become in the act of tasting. From fermentation and digestion to ritual and hunger, the films in this issue reveal food as language, culture, ecosystem, and emotion. Taste is not only on the tongue — it lives in the mind, the soil, the sea, and the stories we tell.
