A good lunch can do quite a lot for the middle of the day, especially when it comes with enough variety to make stepping away from the desk worthwhile. ORIJIN Japanese Dining introduces Hirudoki, a Japanese business lunch featuring four set menus by Chef Ito, available on weekdays from 11.30am to 2pm for IDR 300,000++ per set.

Hirudoki takes its name from the Japanese word for lunchtime, 昼どき, and follows a format suited to a proper midday meal without requiring diners to work through an extensive menu. Each set combines a main dish with smaller courses and familiar Japanese accompaniments, with four menus offering distinctly different routes through lunch.

Menu A centres on Nabeyaki Udon Konabe, with udon noodles, chicken, egg and vegetables served in a small pot. Ebi & Yasai Tempura adds prawns and vegetables in crisp batter, while Sushi Morikomi completes the set with an assortment of sushi. It is perhaps the most comforting choice of the four. Menu B moves towards richer flavours with Sutamina Chicken Don, combining sautéed chicken and vegetables with garlic over steamed rice. The donburi comes with Aburi Salmon Sashimi, lightly torched salmon sashimi, and Agedashi Tofu served with bonito sauce.

Seafood leads Menu C through Robatayaki Saba Shioyaki, grilled mackerel seasoned with salt and served with lime. Alongside it comes Ten Don, assorted tempura dressed with savoury sauce over steamed rice, and Chawanmushi, the Japanese steamed egg custard filled with chicken thigh, prawn and mushroom. For Menu D, ORIJIN serves Beef Hamburg, a pan-fried beef patty accompanied by sautéed vegetables. Maguro Tataki brings torched, seasoned tuna sashimi to the table, followed by Hiyayakko, chilled silky tofu with condiments. The set also includes steamed Gohan rice.

Every Hirudoki menu comes with Wakame Green Salad and sliced fruit, while Menus B, C and D are also served with Miso Shiru. The combinations give each set enough variety for a complete lunch while keeping the format concise, particularly useful for business meetings, client lunches or an afternoon when returning to work remains, regrettably, unavoidable.
