Shobosho

Shobosho is a Japanese-inspired restaurant and bar located on Leigh Street in the heart of Adelaide, South Australia. Known for its wood-fired yakitori, grilled dishes, and contemporary shared plates, Shobosho combines classic Japanese cooking techniques—such as robata, yakitori, and noodle-making—with premium local Australian produce. The venue offers a lively, modern dining experience with counter seating overlooking the open kitchen, intimate booths, and a curated drinks list featuring sake, Japanese whisky, cocktails, and Australian wines. Bookings are recommended, especially for weekends and peak dining times.

A Shobosho charge may appear on your bank or card statement after dining in at the restaurant, purchasing drinks at the bar, ordering takeaway, or paying for a set menu or group booking. You may also see a charge if you paid a deposit for a reservation, a special event, or a chef’s menu experience, as well as for a service charge added to large groups. In some cases, your bank may show a temporary authorization hold (often slightly different from the final bill total) when your card is opened for a bar tab or held behind the bar, which is later adjusted to the final amount.

If you have questions about a Shobosho charge, start by checking your calendar and emails for booking confirmations or receipts around the transaction date, including any reservation-platform confirmations linked from shobosho.com.au. Compare the amount to what you’d expect for a meal, drinks, or a group booking on that date. For clarification, you can contact Shobosho directly via the contact details on their website or by calling the restaurant during opening hours so staff can look up your bill by date, time, and last four digits of your card. If a charge still seems incorrect—such as duplicate payments or the wrong amount—ask the venue for a copy of the receipt or docket, and then contact your bank or card provider if further dispute is needed.
