Shango is so famous that no one in Takasaki City knows it.
As of May 2023, the company operates eight stores, mainly in Takasaki and Maebashi cities.
In fact, Shango is the "creator" of Takasaki pasta.
When the first Shango restaurant was opened in 1968, the volume was increased to "fill the stomach.
The people of Gunma Prefecture are fond of restaurants with "good portions," and the taste of Shango's has spread throughout Takasaki City.
Takasaki pasta is characterized by a "large portion" even when it is normal, and Shango's Motoyacho main restaurant is the originator of this characteristic.




Takasaki pasta cannot be mentioned without mentioning this dish.
It is the store's signature menu item and an ever-popular "Shango-style ".
A demi-glace meat sauce and a whole pork cutlet are placed on top of the noodles, which are available in S (150 grams) and M (200 grams) sizes!
The meat sauce is rich and makes an excellent sauce for pork cutlets.
A plate of noodles and plenty of meat to fill you up.
It is truly a menu filled with the thoughts and feelings of Shango's founding fathers.

Delmundo

The building is a 6-minute walk from the west exit of Takasaki Station.
The red lattice windows make a big impact and can be recognized as "Delmundo" even from a distance.
The actual store is located on the second floor.




The entrance and exit stairs are rather narrow, but they are marked by the red, white, and green Italian flag.
The city of Takasaki publishes a "Zemeshi List" of restaurants that are in danger of extinction due to the aging of their owners, and Delmundo is actually one of these restaurants.
Due to continuous TV coverage, the number of tourists has increased in recent years.
The restaurant is popular to begin with, and can be quite busy at lunchtime.
Seating is for a total of about 9 people, so we recommend getting there early if possible.

A plate of pasta topped with meat sauce and a large hamburger steak on top.
This is what Delmundo's signature menu "Hambourgeois "is all about.
A hearty dish that will fill you up with meat and pasta.
Don't you feel that it somehow reminds you of something?
The owner of Delmundo trained at Shango, which I mentioned earlier.
The thoughts of the store where he was trained were passed on to the next store, which concluded the form of Hambourgeois.
Imagining such a background makes this dish even more special.
S and M sizes are available.

How about a winning menu for 2022 such as "Akagi Chicken and Takasaki Crispy Plum with Seaweed Cream Pasta "
Chicken cooked in two different textures goes well with the cream sauce and, surprisingly, with the crunchy plum and nori.
