Ajinomoto is a Japanese company best known for producing MSG, or monosodium glutamate – the ubiquitous flavor enhancer commonly used in food, especially in Asian cuisine.

As one of the world’s largest MSG manufacturers, the company is often closely associated with the ingredient – the name “Ajinomoto” actually translates to “essence of taste” in Japanese.
