The skill tree can be seen in the menu early in Another Crab's Treasure, but you won't be able to interact with it for a while. In this guide, I'll take you through everything there is to know about how to unlock Umami abilities in the Other Crab's Treasure below.
How to get Umami skills in Another Crab's Treasure
To get Umami skills in Another Crab's Treasure, you must first collect purple crystals. You can collect these crystals throughout the game, from the very beginning in the environment and also from special enemies after fighting and defeating them. I've included a screenshot of what the crystals look like when you find them in the environment below. You will need to attack them a few times to break them into a smaller piece that you can add to your inventory.
The only way you can unlock Umami skills is by talking to the Moon Snail in his domain. So you'll need to get through the Moon Snail level first before you can get any of these extra powers. When you get to the Snail, it will explain to you how the abilities work and show you the option Learn skills. However, there is also an option Repayment capabilities if you are not satisfied with your choice.

How to repay Umami skills
To repay Umami skills, you need one Shark Egg. This will refund all the crystals you placed in the Skill Tree and deselect all skills. So remember that you can't refund just one skill. However, there aren't that many on the tree, so you can easily buy back the ones you want to keep.
You can only redeem abilities later in the game because the Shark Egg can be purchased New Carcinia in the Upper Crust that you will reach after you defeat the Duchess. Prawnathanwho sells your shell also sells several other items, including a Shark Egg for 2k Microplastics.
