About ShoSho

ShoSho brings electric izakaya energy to King William Road with punchy, modern Japanese cooking and serious craft cocktails. Regulars lean into the four-course Feed Me tasting menu, while tables trade snack plates—think crisp wontons, blue swimmer crab udon, and tender wagyu. The dining room hums with relaxed pace, backed by attentive floor staff who cater smoothly to dietary needs. The evening winds down over sake and house coconut sorbet.

  • Chef's Tasting & Feed Me Menus: A curated progression of dishes showcasing seasonal Japanese flavours, built for celebration tables.
  • Izakaya-Style Sharing: A shareable selection spanning delicate tempura, wonton crisps, and rich blue swimmer crab udon.
  • Tailored Dietary Accommodations: Thoughtful substitutions and dedicated menu guidance accommodate allergies without slowing kitchen pacing.

  • Dedicated Dietary & Allergy Customization

    Rather than issuing a standard denial, the floor team actively marks up custom menus to ensure allergen safety while accommodating distinct dietary needs.

    She provided a separate menu and personally ensured each inappropriate item was crossed off for this individual.
