People like you (quoted) do not understand real trouble; not here, nor your neck of the woods. People who will scare this guy by saying he will get deported or such are assholes who also do not understand the law, the police or the system.
In this case the law has not been involved, and if at anytime it does get involved then I suggest the guy contacts me for some advice on how to handle the situation.
I would suggest that the women "works" for the resturant and tricks punters into paying an over inflated bill a few times a week. Most likely gets a 30% cut of the mug.
I would also suggest this is why the resturant will not persue after getting its Y4000. Some you win some you loose.
This is why I recommend to let the action play out and see if the resturant really comes after you. I bet it won't.
And even if it does, they can not persue you for any more then the original bill (I hope you kept a copy), ie. being negligent in paying a non specific agreement is like farting in a toilet.
Point. Did they say when you must pay and what amount you must pay, did they say how?
This is not an agreement so you are not obliged to follow rules that do not exist.
To the OP...
You know you were a dick for picking up a person from a dating site. You were lucky you didn't wake up in the gutter with a sore arse, or stiches where your kidney should be.
Never do that shhh again!!!

This trick happens commonly even to Japanese. Many a man has gone on a date and found himself suddenly alone when the check comes. Some of the bills for these meals can be $500 or more, and if the man finds he is short of cash, he may end up leaving without his watch, briefcase, and whatever else the restaurant wants to hold onto until they get their money.
It's not far-fetched to say that the woman might be working for the restaurant, but even if she was, the OP would never be able to prove it.
The OP has no recourse because he is a foreigner, and failure to pay a restaurant bill is a crime. Foreigners who commit crimes of any kind are not tolerated. It's less expensive to deport someone than it is to prosecute them in court.
