Answer:

I think it's possible if you were lucky enough to be employed by a Greek restaurant in Japan. In Tokyo area alone, there are a dozen of Greek restaurants. The hardest part is getting a working visa, but you have an advantage over Japanese chef as far as Greek cuisine is concerned.
You need to make contact with them. Some of them may respond. Or, you'd better come to Japan again and visit all the prospective Greek restaurants to talk with the owners directly. In Japan, personal contact and relations are important more than anything else.
