However, be aware that you cannot get a visa as a general chef, unless you come to Japan on a Working Holiday Visa. You need to be a *skilled cook in a foreign cuisine*. I’m not entirely sure how you go about proving that, but any restaurant willing to sponsor your visa would likely know how.
Edit: I only scanned it quickly, but [this article looks to have some solid information and numbers](https://chefswonderland.com/feature-article/what-type-of-visa-is-required-to-work-at-a-restaurant-in-japan/).
