So what are my chances if i learn Japanese, work for 10 years, and also do some minor studying on the way (like wine sampling)..
Should i just forget about it?

Being a professional chef is one of the few jobs that you potentially actually could be hired to do in Japan. This would mean you would be a professional in a specialized cuisine, probably native to your country. I have seen "native" chefs at all kinds of restaurants in Japan, from Indian to Italian to Brazilian to Chinese...the list goes on.
