Black Market Sake is an Australian importer and specialist retailer of artisanal Junmai sake, offering a curated selection of small‑production Japanese sake to consumers and hospitality venues via its online shop and wholesale channels.
Black Market Sake is a Sydney-based Australian importer and specialist retailer focused exclusively on artisanal Junmai sake. Working directly with small and traditional breweries across Japan, they curate a tightly edited selection of craft, often small‑production bottles that typically aren’t available through mainstream retail. Through blackmarketsake.com, they sell directly to consumers across Australia and also supply restaurants, bars, and other hospitality venues via wholesale channels.
A charge from Black Market Sake on your bank or card statement usually relates to an online purchase made through their website, a phone or email order they’ve processed manually, or a wholesale invoice paid by card. In some cases, you may see a pre‑authorization or pending amount when you first place an order—this is your bank temporarily holding funds while the payment is confirmed. You might also see multiple smaller charges if shipping, add‑ons, or split payments were processed separately, or if you placed several orders close together (for example, for events or limited‑release drops).
If you’re unsure about a Black Market Sake charge, start by checking your email for order confirmations or tax invoices from blackmarketsake.com, including any orders placed on behalf of your workplace or venue. Log into your account on their website (if you created one) to review past orders, or ask colleagues if the card is used for business purchases. For billing questions, delivery issues, or to request an order copy, contact them via the contact or enquiry form on blackmarketsake.com, or use the phone/email details listed there. If you still don’t recognize the transaction, your bank can help you review the charge and, if necessary, dispute it.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Black Market Sake.
Why do I see a charge from Black Market Sake on my statement?
Most Black Market Sake charges come from online orders placed at blackmarketsake.com for bottles of sake or related items, or from wholesale invoices paid by card. If your card is used by your workplace or shared with a partner, check whether someone else placed a venue order, event order, or gift purchase. Look in your email (and spam folder) for an order confirmation from Black Market Sake around the transaction date.
Does Black Market Sake run subscriptions or sake clubs that bill me monthly?
Black Market Sake primarily operates on a per‑order basis rather than through ongoing subscriptions, so most customers are charged only when they actively place an order or confirm a wholesale invoice. If you see repeat charges, it may be because you placed multiple separate orders (for example, limited releases or seasonal selections) or because a venue account is regularly restocking via card. Review your past orders or invoices on their website or in your email to confirm.
What amounts are Black Market Sake charges usually for?
Charge amounts vary depending on which bottles you purchased, how many, and the shipping destination, as prices and freight costs differ by product and region. A single transaction may cover multiple bottles plus shipping, or a larger charge might reflect a wholesale or venue order. Check the detailed invoice or order confirmation email to see a breakdown of bottle prices, shipping, and any taxes included in the total you see on your statement.
Why do I see a pending or temporary Black Market Sake charge on my card?
When you submit payment on blackmarketsake.com, your bank or card provider may place a temporary authorization hold to confirm the card is valid and has sufficient funds. This can appear as a pending transaction or a slightly different amount until the order is finalized. Once the payment is fully processed, the pending hold is either converted into the final charge or automatically released by your bank within a few business days.
How can I get a copy of my Black Market Sake receipt or tax invoice?
Every completed order should generate an email confirmation that includes an order summary and tax invoice details. If you can’t find it, search your inbox for “Black Market Sake” around the date of the charge or log into your account on blackmarketsake.com to view your order history. For venue or wholesale invoices, contact them via the wholesale or contact page on their website and provide your business name, approximate order date, and the last four digits of the card used so they can locate the transaction.
How do I change, cancel, or get a refund for a Black Market Sake order?
Because Black Market Sake deals in alcohol and often in limited‑release stock, the ability to change or cancel an order depends on whether it has already been packed or shipped and on their current returns policy. If you need to cancel, correct an address, or query a refund, contact them as soon as possible using the enquiry or contact form on blackmarketsake.com and include your order number and transaction date. They can advise whether the order can be stopped, adjusted, or partially refunded, and what conditions apply for returns or damaged goods.
Can I pause or stop future orders from Black Market Sake being charged to my card?
Since Black Market Sake generally does not auto‑renew orders, you won’t be charged again unless a new order or invoice is placed using your card. If a business or colleague is using your card for venue purchases and you wish to stop that, you’ll need to update the stored payment method on the account or speak with your venue’s purchasing contact. For any concerns about unauthorized use, inform your bank immediately and let Black Market Sake know about the disputed transaction via their website contact details.
How do I contact Black Market Sake about a charge I don’t recognize?
Go to blackmarketsake.com and use the contact or enquiry form, or the phone/email information listed there, to reach their team. Provide the date and amount of the charge, the name on the card, and the last four digits of the card number so they can look up the transaction. They can confirm what was purchased, resend invoices, or advise on next steps if the charge appears to be made in error or without your authorization.
