Taste/flavor
[edit]Savory means "it (i.e. food) is sooooo good."
It is the fifth favorite taste sensation in japan seems like an arbitrarily useless fact. Who cares? Why is it important enough to include in a general article?

- As I understand it, there are two senses of savory in reference to flavor/taste. Savory is traditionally contrasted with sweet. All strongly flavored non-sweet foods can be considered savory, whether they have bitter, sour or salty tastes. With the discovery of the "fifth taste", savory is now being applied to umami specifically. People in the culinary world still use the sweet/savory distinction.Plantdrew (talk) 01:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
