Not an issue at all. For the last couple of trips I brought in coffee bags as well (like tea bags, but with coffee - I really don't care for instant), but next time I might not - many hotel rooms have refrigerators, and it is easy to buy refrigerated coffee in supermarkets and convenience stores (about 150 yen/liter) and just heat it up. I highly recommend you try some Japanese snacks while in Japan - there is a huge assortment to choose from, and it's another way to experience the country.

The only food I bring is oatmeal....I haven't found it in the Japanese supermarkets I have gone to and I love my oatmeal, plain no sugar or anything else - I stay in places with a kitchenette so am able to cook....
As far as coffee I have found the individual packets that you place over a cup and pour in boiling water to make delicious coffee. I buy them in Japanese supermarkets but they sell small packages in coffee shops like Doutor's, etc....

I just returned from a trip to Kyoto. I took granola bars, mixed nuts and crackers in my carry-on. No problems at all.
Although I love trying different foods especially snacks during my travels abroad, I feel comfort in carrying my own. The reason being sometimes the ingredients or some spices or meats used in products do not agree easily with digestive system.
So, I do try them in small quantity and if I like the taste I enjoy them fully. If not, then I have my own little bites to enjoy in between meals.
I loved Pokey sticks in Japan---like long pretzel sticks with a variety of coatings such as chocolate, strawberry, pistachio etc. I brought some back for the grand kids too.
There are amazing bakeries with wonderful products to try. Have fun and enjoy your trip.
