Why aren't there many Spanish restaurants

Actually, that's a red herring Dirk. There are very, very few Japanese restaurants outside of London, especially compared to say, the number of Italians, Chinese and Indians. So, the second two are there because of immigration patterns, the former, possibly because of holidays.

There are four in Edinburgh alone.

Is there a resident Japanese community in Edinburgh?

We have a similar number of places in Leeds plus a van from one of the London Japanese supermarkets that comes here regularly, and to a certain extent the native Japanese in the area are important customers.

The van in particullar is something to behold with various supplies and fresh fish of sufficient quality for sashimi.

I only really know about this stuff because I had a good Japanese friend here who introduced me to Japanese food and the van.
