The food...not just sushi, but the presentation of all their meals is basically phenomenal when compared to the rest of the world. Even schoolchildren and 9-5ers lunches are beautiful arrangements of color, proportion, clean lines, etc.
Baseball as a "national" pastime and other "embracing Western culture" motifs, since these are all elements of modern, post WWII Japan
Pokemon. Its popularity has faded here in America (and in the UK, I imagine, though I'm not sure if it was ever as popular there as it was here), but it still has a retail presence and has become a recognizable part of popular culture for over a decade...I expect that's all the more true in Japan itself, though I don't know if that qualifies it as a "recognizable stereotype"
I'm not familiar with "The Mikado", but if it contains a dark or criminal element, the well-muscled gangster with tattoo sleeves (implication: Yakuza) is certainly well known.
