Since there's no tipping in Japanese restaurants, and since the consumption tax is rolled into the displayed price, what you see is what you pay.

That's why, for example, some of the inexpensive restaurants can require you to buy a ticket from a vending machine for your choice(s) of food upon entering the establishment, so that you place your order by giving the server your ticket.
