About the Umami Black
The Hana Umami Black is Hana’s flagship hand-built moving coil cartridge, developed by master designer Masao Okada-san of Excel Sound. It uses a solid diamond cantilever, Microline nude diamond stylus, and the new high-efficiency OKD moving coil generator with an integrated pole piece/rear yoke and inverted U-shaped front yoke. Hana positions it as a reference-level cartridge built for detailed, low-resonance playback, with an Urushi lacquer-finished open-air Duralumin body and a low-output 0.3 mV design intended for MC phono stages or step-up transformers.
