Other Processed Foods
Items such as cookies, crackers, candies, cereals, dried noodles, etc., may be brought into Japan. Most types of nuts (with the exception of walnuts, which are prohibited) may be brought into Japan, particularly if they are salted, dried, or roasted.
I was just looking at the customs laws of what I can import into japan and found the wonderful quote above. I would like to believe there is a nice sensible reason why walnuts are considered particularly dangerous, so if anyone knows please tell me.
On the same page I also found I can import 100kg of rice duty free per year, so if anyone coming to visit me has some left over weight allowance how about bringing me a sack? Preferably long grain, and definitely not that nasty non-stick stuff! (try and eat it with chopsticks if you wonder why)

Looks like some sort of special tariff.
I'm surprised the walnut growers of Japan are politically organized enough to get that passed. Particularly when I can't remember ever seeing walnuts for sale here.
That paper is amazing...
I think that it is to prevent diseases and insects that can come from foreign countries.
