How do you say pork loin in Japanese? Jisho.org says it should be ロース, but it
seems too vague since I want to use it in a recipe. What about 豚ロース肉?

How to say pork loin in Japanese
tbh it's probably ポークロイン （see [google

I'm not sure you'll find the exact equivalent to "pork loin" in a supermarket
in Japan but I think you can find something close.  

In a normal supermarket or butcher in Japan you'll find "thinly sliced pork
roast" as「豚ローススライス」, 「豚ロース[薄切]{うすぎ}り」, 「豚ロースしゃぶしゃぶ[用]{よう}」, 「豚[肩]{かた}ローススライス」,
「豚肩ロース薄切り」, 「豚肩ロースしゃぶしゃぶ用」 etc.:

You'll also find 「豚ロース[生姜]{しょうが}[焼]{や}き用」「豚肩ロース生姜焼き用」, "pork roast for ginger
flavored stir fried pork", which is a bit more thickly sliced:

Of course they have thick slices for steak and tonkatsu(pork cutlet)
as「豚ロースとんかつ用」「豚肩ロースとんかつ用」「豚ロースとんかつ・ステーキ用」 etc.:

And it's also sold in larger blocks as「豚ロース ブロック」「豚肩ロース ブロック」「豚ロース
[塊]{かたまり}」etc.:
