A number of stunning kartvelisms in Japan make a thorough focus on this country obligatory.
"Umami" is the fifth classic taste, believed to have been discovered by the Japanese. It is a glutamate taste. It is associated with broth or meat. From the other hand, "umami" is a Megrelian construction from the root "um(i)" ("raw") and the adjective suffix "-am(i)". Draw parallels if you want, or don't. In any case, it's worth mentioning.
In addition to "umami", we also have "origami", where "-ami" is not a suffix, but part of the root "gami" - "paper". But "ori" in Japanese means "folding". And folding is done in half. Which is, doubling. In Georgian, "ori" means "two".
