申し訳ございません、衛生上の都合で、お持ち帰りはご遠慮いただいております。
もうしわけございません、えいせいじょうのつごうで、おもちかえりはごえんりょいただいております。
We apologize, but for hygiene reasons, we ask you to refrain from taking food home.
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow, perhaps gesturing to the remaining food.
Most Japanese restaurants do not allow customers to take leftovers home due to strict hygiene regulations. Do not insist if they decline.
