POKOTABI / Roi-to-Rin
ロイとリン
Napolitan arrives on a hotplate beneath a lid, while the house curry is simmered with Japanese Black beef tendon. Here’s a look at the lunch dishes, Dattan buckwheat tea and apple cake at Roi-to-Rin.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Napolitan is brought to the table on a hotplate with a lid, which is lifted in front of you. Diners have remembered the rising steam and the flavour of the house-made tomato sauce. The menu promises a dish served “on a piping-hot iron plate” with a gentle, old-fashioned taste. Those who have tried it mention the balance of sweetness and acidity in the sauce, and a generous portion that remains enjoyable to the last bite. The menu listing gives a price of 1,300 yen.
The omelette rice is also served on a hotplate and described on the menu as “piping hot and soft”. Cheese can be added, and a larger portion is available. One party reported ordering both the Napolitan and omelette rice; if you’re choosing between them at lunch, consider whether you’d rather savour the tomato sauce or the soft, creamy texture of the egg.
For a rice dish, try the house curry, slowly simmered with Japanese Black beef tendon. You can choose the level of heat, and a larger portion is available. One diner described the steaming curry as reminiscent of stew and enjoyed it with rice and pickles. Another recommended the baked curry, one of the hotplate dishes served with melting cheese.
For an after-meal treat or a café break, there’s Dattan buckwheat tea and an apple cake set. One diner liked the tea so much that they ordered a larger serving on a second visit. The menu describes the cake as pairing the sweetness of almonds and apples with vanilla ice cream; another guest also noted enjoying the house-made apple cake. Roi-to-Rin offers options ranging from a filling lunch to tea and something sweet. Drinks include yuzu soda and a yuzu soda float topped with vanilla ice cream.
