Rollbahn (ロルバーン)
High-quality stationery always lifts my mood, and Rollbahn notebooks are particularly motivating. These spiral-bound notebooks are perfectly designed: they have a simple cover, thick premium paper (which is perforated for easy removal), clear pockets for keeping memos or photos, and an elastic band closure. Inside, you’ll find their signature cream-yellow grid paper.
Rollbahn notebooks are produced by the Japanese company Delfonics and are made in Japan.
I have been a Rollbahn user for over a decade. They are excellent for taking notes at work, but I also use them to organize recipes and track medical visits. They are great for studying, journaling, or scrapbooking.
While I love the classic, simple covers, the reason I recommend these as souvenirs is the wide variety of limited-edition designs. Many covers are only available for a short time or at specific locations. You can browse these exclusive designs on their official webshop. Examples of limited designs include local scenery in Japan, seasonal motifs, and collaborations with popular brands like Sanrio, Studio Ghibli, and more.
How much do they cost?
The classic notebooks in the photo are the Large size (roughly equivalent to a B6; 143 x 182 mm / 5.6 x 7.1 inches), and they cost 880 yen (including tax). Prices vary depending on the specific design and size you choose.
Where can you find them?
You can find them at Smith, the Delfonics store. Locations include Tokyo Skytree Town (Solamachi), Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, Shibuya Hikarie, Lumine Shinjuku, and Ecute Shinagawa. They are also widely available at major lifestyle stores like Loft, Hands, and Plaza; large stationery stores, such as Itoya; and large bookstores, such as Maruzen and Books Kinokuniya.
If you are looking for a practical, high-quality gift for your family or friends, I highly recommend picking up a Rollbahn notebook!
