I love talking about food, lol. It is really a broad question that you ask though, so excuse the long post. I really adore Indian food in all its magnificent forms and variety, and will have to say it is my ultimate favourite (that is, if I have to pick a regional/country cuisine). Then, I also love Asian food, specifically Japanese, Chinese and South Korean dishes and recipes. I also have a soft spot for many Italian and German dishes, and there's no breakfast better than a full English one :D
Indian cuisine - varied and regional, all the different kinds of (what we call) "curries", stews, breads, pancakes. Dishes like Rogan Josh, Biryani, Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, Litti Chokha, Rajma Chawal, Dahi Vada, Pulao, Bhuna Ghosht, Korma, naan and roti, etc. Japanese cuisine - being very Western here, but I love good sushi and sashimi, miso soups and odun noodles. I also love Hayashi rice, onigiri, yakitori, omurice, kakuni, etc.
Chinese - so extremely varied and regional, but from ramen to different kinds of stir fries, dim sung, century eggs, hotpots, dishes like Kung Pao, Peking Duck, Dandan noodles, Mapo Tofu, braised pork belly and ribs, and of course the Westernised dishes of Chop Suey and Sweet & Sour pork. I think most of my favourite Chinese dishes are of Sichuan cuisine origin. Korean - these are some of my favourites: seaweed soup, Oritang soup or stew, Maeuntang fish soup, Kongnamulbap (rice with bean sprouts & pork), kimbap and Kimchi. Italy - all kinds of pasta, risottos, breads and pizzas, cured meats (hams, salami, sausages) and cheeses. Their desserts are also to die for i.e. gelato (ice cream), panna cotta, tiramisu, biscotti, etc. Germany - eisbein of course, and also dishes like rouladen, prinzregententorte, rippenbraten, schnüüsch, many of their sausages like bierwurst, blutwurst, leberkäse, bratwurst, mettwurst, etc. and several of their sour milk cheeses. Ok, I just love food, from all over the world. One of the most entertaining foodie programmes I've seen recently was Ainsley Eats the Streets, a different country's street food every episode. It's my Sunday morning ritual. I make hash browns, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushroom, onion, and a fried egg stacked on a plate with as much hot or iced tea as I care to have, while I catch up on my video games.

You're very welcome! Anytime! ^_^ .. Awesome! I love Japan and I so cannot wait to move back there in time! ^_^ .. You will probably love Osaka! On that note, I am so very sorry for the late reply! I've been really busy today due to studying and due to a few other things or I'd have replied back a lot sooner!!! OKi places to eat in Osaka, well you've got tons of places tourists love to go but if you want my personal opinion, these places are overrated and way, way over priced! Your best bet is to ask locals where they'd recommend as there's lots of hidden gems in and around Osaka but some of my personal favourites as I prefer the hidden gems / local places that tourists always seem to be unaware of and pass right past them! .. (That's there mistake!) .. If you like Japanese curry then Curry Yakumido is pretty nice erm then there's lots of places that I really like, like Ippudo Umeda, Kimukatsu, Ajinoya, Tokumasa Udon Morinomiya, Hanamaruken Namba Hozenji, Gyozaoh Dotonbori, Slices, Matsuya Imazato, Gyuichi honten (Korean BBQ place that I like!), Suki (which is mostly unknown and is in the Ikuno Ward!), Sukiya, Izakaya Toyo and tons more ugh I'd literally be here all day adding stuff as there's a lot of places that I love to go with my friends, little sister and other family members whenever I'm in Osaka.. I've got to add here though that try the street food as that's amazing, don't miss it out as there's lots and I mean lots of different vendors selling there freshly prepared food there and then... Also there's more common places with a quick bite like Mosburger, Family Mart, 7Eleven and lots of other places... Here's a video which might help you as this guy is really cool, I haven't met him yet but then again I haven't been in Osaka for a while but I'll probably run into him at some point and time when I'm back there!!!! xDDD .. I plan to make some YouTube videos myself when I am back in Osaka! ^_^ .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9To5UjWhUA a video by another YouTuber as I'm a YouTuber myself so I always like to promote other YouTubers so check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tndpSS43nw8 .. ^_^ .. Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne2nafcJvrY , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_4BZ0ykytk , I love the street food and have got some friends who have stalls heh ^_^ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieVgPQqxTuY .. One more video or again I'll be here all day!!! >__<" .. Dotonbori is by the way, one of the best places within Osaka to go for food as it's amazing and it has a lot of amazing things like toy shops, clothing shops, Oh don't forget the Vending machines as the vending machines are a amazing and so, useful, but if you've been to Japan already then you'll know what there like! ^_^ .. One more video best I love Kuromon Market!!!! 💗 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP6B3tZ4qio ... Anyway I hope that you have an amazing time while you're in Osaka!!! If you want to know anything else then please feel free to ask! ^_^
