Ajinomoto

Is a brand name for monosodium glutamate (MSG), a purified seasoning that enhances the umami flavour in foods. Often called “the essence of umami,” Ajinomoto is widely used in Asian and African cuisines to deepen the savory taste of soups, stews, sauces, and stir-fries. It’s made through a fermentation process using natural ingredients like sugarcane or corn and is over 99% pure MSG.
