When I was living in Japan, I only carried around a photocopy of my passport, and that was adequate for when I was stopped by police and such (which is often for foreigners). However, if your only concern is drinking, I have never EVER been carded in Japan anytime I ordered drinks or went into bars. Most of them either don't bother if you look old enough (having a beard helps here), or do not want to awkwardly deal with foreigners. If you play ignorant tourist guy and pretend not to know any Japanese, they will never ask or else give up trying.
