Acutally, yes it is. You've probably seen it at the grocery store and didn't realize what it was.
Accent is probably the most widely available common brand in the US, maybe the world but not counting Asian countries.

Here you go.
Use lightly. It's fucking nasty when you use too much or use it with the wrong thing.
Go Ac'cent!
Butter is a pretty mild flavor, IMO.
Tomatoes and soy sauce both have a strong "umami" (glutamate) flavor. That's probably what you're tasting.
Sharp cheeses, cured meats, and other aged or fermented products usually have strong umami notes. I'd recommend using something like Accent (Monosodium glutamate) in place of some/all of the salt in savory recipes.
You could also try nutritional yeast, fish sauce, marmite, vegemite, broths.
How about sour/acid? Any vinegar or citrus foods you like?
How about spicy? There's a ton of peppers with various flavor profiles. Black/White/Red pepper. Hot sauces. Ginger. Cinnamon.
Here you go!
You're right , is WIDELY available in USA and CANADA and its been for a LOOOOON time .
My mom always had this in her pantry ..
Accent Flavor Enhaver ( AKA pure MSG )
To piggyback a related question: I bought some of this stuff out of curiosity [and a mind-blowing sense of adventure!--though I didn't go for this 2lb container] and in my opinion, after tasting just the powder, the flavor is very subtle, something I might call a diluted salty/sweetness comparable to maybe a very weak broth--underwhelming. Are there further processes happening with the food that it is added to that change and enhance flavor? Or might it be that such a subtle flavor is enough to make that big of a difference?

Yeah I am just learning this as we speak, I assumed that (besides being crazy delicious) MSG was higher in sodium than table salt, but looking at this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0017TN3UC
480mg per teaspoon vs. 2320mg per teaspoon of sea salt. Holy crap!
Bought.
On Amazon
Almost every supermarket in my area sells it under the Ac'cent flavor enhancer. I suspect it is also easily found in most US supermarkets across the country.
Why don't you just say MSG?
The shit's awesome, and I think I'm going to add it to my next stew since you brought it up...
Mmmmm. ac'cent
