Visited on a certain day in July 2022 around 7 pm. Located about a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Umeda Station, "Build" is a brand pork and creative skewer restaurant on the basement floor of a building. The cozy interior of the restaurant had about 5 or 6 customers already. We, a group of 5 colleagues, sat at a table to have our meal. We started with a toast with "The Premium Malt's <Fragrant> Ale" ¥605 to quench our thirst. The flavorful Premium Malt's is always enjoyable to drink. We were served seedless grapes as a complimentary appetizer. A surprising choice, but the high-quality grapes were delicious. Parma Ham Salad ¥1,078: The salad had a light dressing, allowing the balance of the salty ham and vegetables to shine, making it very tasty. A delicious salad with ham. Assorted Skewers (8 types) ¥1,518 x 2: As the restaurant specializes in creative skewers, we decided to order this. The assortment included prawn, scallop, asparagus bacon, chicken thigh, sardine, quail egg, pork belly, and sand liver. The prawn tasted great when squeezed with lemon and eaten whole. Each skewer showcased the deliciousness of the skewer dish. The quail egg with mayonnaise sauce had a creative touch. Both the seafood and meat skewers were enjoyable. We switched to a bottle of white wine, "Jean Geiler Alsace Riesling Reserve" ¥4,345, and savored the skewers with a hint of sweetness. German Sausage Platter ¥1,078: A generous serving of sausages in a good size plate. Enjoyed with ketchup and mustard. Perfect for sharing among friends. The variety of sausages was enjoyable. Miyazaki Chicken Tataki ¥880: The Miyazaki chicken tataki, seasoned with a sweet soy sauce, had a pleasant texture and no strong flavors, allowing the chicken's umami to shine through. Brand Pork Steak Assortment (5 types) ¥1,870: A plate featuring Ryukyu pork, Doro pork, Imo pork, BBC pork, and Kuri pork. Enjoyed the differences in pork while savoring the steak, a must-order dish at this restaurant. Sprinkled with salt to enhance the sweetness of the meat. We switched from white wine to "House Wine (Red) Decanter 500ml" ¥1,800 and enjoyed it. Cheese Assortment (6 types) ¥1,320: Ordered to pair with red wine. The cheese was not particularly outstanding, but it was a safe choice. "Build" offers a high level of satisfaction with its pork dishes and skewers. The manager's friendly service adds to the excellent hospitality. A recommended restaurant for a fun dining experience with friends.
