Umami
Umami is the alchemy seasoning that turns two-star food and drink into three-star. At the Kitchen Table, one Umami raises a two-star Grape Juice, Wine, Bowl of sauerkraut or Vegetable salad to three stars, with Farming mastery 6.
It is an alchemy product: a mix totalling 4 green and 4 blue runes. Alchemy, Advanced reveals it and brings the four seasoning recipes. The town Alchemist sells 10 at tier III.
