Indeed. In Japan the concept of vegetarianism is not even well understood, and it is not something that most serious restaurants care much about accommodating. I think the above list actually looks like a rather good start. The restaurants at FS, R-C etc. should also be well equipped to handle this request.
Frankly, I do not see a point in fretting about this at all, because a vegetarian diet precludes eating the speciality dishes at virtually all of the top restaurants in Japan anyway.
