If I had more money I'd probably tip a lot more, over 20%, because I know how hard it is to work in the industry (as being a waiter in my past life). As it stands Im poor as hell from grad school, so I can't tip as much as I like. In north america, people's livelihoods depend on tips, especially in canada where a ""servers wage" often exists below minimum wage (well it used to... I don't know anymore). So I suggest you tip well if your service is good.
Japan is one of the few places that tipping doesn't exist. I know its called "le Gratte" in france (I think)
