Technically speaking, none, since the Japanese syllabary is a list of syllables, not sounds.

But if you mean how many Japanese syllables contain consonants, the answer depends on how do you define the consonants (do you include h, w and y? do you count the variations of the letter h?)

If you count every letter as a consonant except a e i o u, and all the variations of a consonant are only counted as one consonant then there are 17: b ch d g h j k m n p r s t w y z sh (18 if you also include the syllabic -n)
