Addictive dressing – umami
August 28th, 2010
A vendor at a Japanese supermarket recently suckered me into buying this cucumber dressing. The dressing was imported from Japan and has no English on the bottle. I’m not sure what flavor the dressing even is, but boy is it tasty.
If I had to guess, I’d say this concoction includes soybean oil mixed with a ton of monosodium glutamate (MSG)–umami goodness. I typically associate MSG with soups or hot foods, but I guess MSG will taste good in any form.
If any of you comprehend Japanese, please let me know what the bottle says. I’ll definitely be going back to the market for more!
