The couple in front of us has been told to come back at 7pm. But - I guess - because my wife speaks Japanese they let us in and just told us that we only have 1.5 hours at the table because it's reserved after that.

To your latter question: yes especially in Japan. There are quite a few restaurants where they don’t allow foreigners (or anyone foreign looking) even if you’ve lived there for decades and speak fluently.
Is racism common there?
Is there racism in a place that sells soap to whiten your skin? I don't think so.....
Yes
I was once at a kind of pawn shop and was holding a few games I was planning to buy. A shop clerk came by, asked to look at the games, took a picture of them, and went back to his counter without saying a word. I left the games back where I found them and walked out. They didn't do this with any of the other Japanese customers. Racism is definitely around, just not everywhere.
Let's just say it's not uncommon
Great food tho
