I have never had a restaurant ask for a table charge in Japan. I've stayed in Tokyo and Osaka a fair bit (months) and have visited Nagano, Nagoya, Kyoto and some smaller cities in between.

Not sure why I got downvoted, but I've been living here for 15 years and it definitely exists. Most of the time, you don't even notice it because they just charge you with out telling. You might see it in the corner of the menu. Google テーブルチャージ or お通し代.

No one downvoted you (or at least I didn't). I'll keep an eye out next time, but I usually pay cash and it's exactly what the meal costs.
