About this place
Step past the noren curtain at Izakaya RIN in Tateishi, and you will find an izakaya that takes its dashi-infused noodle bowls and curries seriously. The menu features choices like Japanese Dashi Curry Ramen, clean shoyu and shio ramen, and bowls finished with torn nori or seasoned boiled eggs. Broth-only kake ramen and thin-noodle dashi tsukemen are also on offer, making it easy to finish an evening of drinking or simply stop by for a hearty meal.
Alongside the noodles, rice options stand out, from a beef tongue curry rice studded with generous cuts of meat to smaller rice-bowl portions, comforting ochazuke in Japanese broth, and dashi egg zosui rice porridge. Before digging into the main dishes, diners can order small plates like horsemeat yukhoe, baby sardines with komatsuna greens, and marinated mozuku seaweed while sipping bottled beer or Hoppy.
Sweet potato shochu brands Mitake and Mogura can be mixed with soda or tea, alongside glasses of wine and Kakubin highballs. The dining room maintains a relaxed pace, suiting anyone dropping in alone to combine dinner with an unhurried evening pour.
