Hana Umami Blue

The HANA Umami Blue high-end moving coil cartridge combines the vision of Master cartridge designer Okada-san with the history of unique materials, classic Japanese techniques, and modern audio technology. The Auricle™ body design, unique and exclusive to our Umami series, is CNC machined from Duralumin.

By sharing key Umami Red ingredients, including the precision-ground diamond needle, Boron cantilever, and high-purity copper wires, and combining them with the Alnico magnet-based generator found in the famous Hana ML, the extraordinarily musical Umami Blue is born.
