Is it allowed to bring food items to Japan?

Technically, agricultural but not highly.processed products like grains and pulses are supposed to be declared and you need to have a phytosanitary certificate:

In practice, this sounds like an absurd amount of hassle and I'm not sure how you'd go about obtaining one, particularly in India; I'm also not sure if milled and commercially packed rice counts as "highly processed" , which is OK to import without paperwork.

In any case, Japanese inspections tend to concentrate on outright contraband like drugs. Even if your rice is spotted, it's highly unlikely you would face anything worse than confiscation if you're suitably apologetic ("I'm so sorry, I didn't know"). YMMV.
