Weebs will take any chance they can get to name something with a japanese or other asian language's word, true (isekai/portal fantasy, anyone?), but in this particular case "umami" became popularized because it was a japanese scientist that confirmed it was an actual basic flavor. Origin of research and not weeb culture is what put umami on the english map.
