How are you in Japan and not aware of Umami? You are in Umami heaven! Go find some Kombu (https://www.justonecookbook.com/kombu/ https://www.justonecookbook.com/kombu/), soak it in water and then take a sip. Literally pure Glutamate aka Umami.

It's not because some ingredients taste different from what you have in the west that it constitutes a new flavor type.
