Hygiene
Hygiene standards in restaurants in Tokyo are generally high, leaving little cause for worry. However, if you do have any concerns the Food Safety Commission is an independent organisation within the food industry that is dedicated to assessing food risks. It also makes recommendations to the relevant ministries and responds to food-borne incidents in the city. It can be reached on 03 5251 9220. Random checks of restaurant hygiene standards do happen, but it is uncommon to hear of places being closed down due to poor sanitation.
