Review: i love this product it gives umami to my food Review: This bag is well worth the money! The product is high quality, and I like how they give suggested seasoning amounts on the bag (it is very important not to over season). This stuff works great with a huge variety of savory foods (I would recommend using it on meats primarily, but you can use it on whatever you imagine - but I do think sweet, bitter, and sour would probably be an odd pairing) Also, this bag will last me a very long time. Be ready for MSG to take your taste buds to the max! (Also - MSG occurs naturally in a large variety of foods, so I think that is something to take into consideration if you are on the fence)… highly recommend👍 ## Features - One - 16oz Bag per order - Ajinomoto is a seasoning that enhances Umami taste of all your dishes. - Made from corn glucose in America's heartland. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I0M99MU | | ASIN | B00I0M99MU | | Brand Name | Ajinomoto | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Japanese cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (4,503) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (4,503) | | Flavour | Sweet,Bitter | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.47 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 454 Grams | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 20.4 x 12.19 x 2.79 cm; 454 g | | Size | 473.18 ml (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Msg | | Unit Count | 473.18 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ajinomoto - **Flavour:** Sweet,Bitter - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 454 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.47 Kilograms - **Speciality:** Msg - **Unit count:** 473.18 millilitre ## Images ![16oz Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning, MSG Monosodium Glutamate, Made in USA, Naturally Delicious (One Bag per order) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HrxRHIXIL.jpg) ![16oz Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning, MSG Monosodium Glutamate, Made in USA, Naturally Delicious (One Bag per order) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IgTzfE5FL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: This product is made in japan and distributed in the usa. it's not made in the usa, isn't it?** A: It depends on the package.

I have been using it regularly for months and the bag still is not close to empty. Just a small sprinkle gives a big flavor boost. It adds that perfect savory umami taste to soups, stir-fries, vegetables, and meats, making everything more delicious without being overwhelming. The price is very affordable for the generous amount you get and the packaging is well designed. The bag has a secure seal that keeps the seasoning fresh and easy to store between uses. I also appreciate that the package includes simple instructions to guide how much to add for different foods. It is important to note that this is pure monosodium glutamate, so it does contain sodium. Used in moderation, it is safe and effective for enhancing flavor and I have found it a healthier alternative to relying on heavy salt. I would absolutely purchase this brand again. It is a great value, lasts a long time, and consistently elevates my cooking. ## Frequently Bought Together - 16oz Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning, MSG Monosodium Glutamate, Made in USA, Naturally Delicious (One Bag per order) - Lee Kum Kee Premium Dark Soy Sauce (16.9 oz - 1 Pack), Full-Bodied Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce, Non GMO Soybeans, Vegan, No MSG, Best for Adding Natural Colors to Stews, Gravies, Braised Dishes & Stir-Fried Noodles - Soeos Shaoxing Wine, Shaoxing Rice Wine, Chinese Cooking Wine, Rice Cooking Wine, Shaoxing Wine Chinese Cooking Wine, Shao Hsing Rice Wine, 21.64 fl oz (640ml),1 Pack, Regular Cooking Wine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/457290080-16oz-ajinomoto-umami-seasoning-msg-monosodium-glutamate-made-in-usa](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/457290080-16oz-ajinomoto-umami-seasoning-msg-monosodium-glutamate-made-in-usa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
