	Description:		We're continuing our celebration of taste with another episode in our "Taste Buddies" series. Today: Umami. In the early 1900s a Japanese chemist identified umami, but it took a century for his work to be translated into English. In this encore episode, Short Wave host Emily Kwong talks with producer Chloee Weiner about why it took so long for umami to be recognized as the fifth taste. Follow Emily on Twitter @emilykwong1234.
