umami is the fifth sense of taste, we have bitter, sweet, salty, sour the new taste is umami.
it is something that is peculiar, yet we love to eat, like the taste of asparagus, the taste of mushroom, it neither of the 4 taste, that is why umami is discovered.
incidentally, MSG laden food is considered to be umamious.
is it toxic, yes in a loadful of amount.
