Declaring food at customs

Hi there

I have a 2 day stopover in Tokyo on my way to visit family in India from the US. I will plan to carry a few food items such as almonds, pistachios, chocolates and saffron when I stopover. These will be commercially packed and small quantities.

The visit Japan questionnaire asks me if I have fruits, vegetables, live plants, seeds, animals, etc. I assume I should tick "No"? But i am not sure.

Do I need to declare these to a customs official in Narita despite having a QR code? If so, will it delay my customs inspection?

Thanks!
