About this event
Held in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, "King of Pasta 2026" is a gourmet event where 18 pasta-serving establishments in Takasaki gather in one place, and visitors vote to decide that year's "Takasaki Pasta King." At the venue, each establishment serves inventive, original pasta dishes, and visitors can use tickets for a 5-portion tasting set to compare and sample their favorite pastas. Each ticket allows one vote for a chosen restaurant, and the 5 portions together equal roughly one standard serving of pasta. Aimed at advancing Takasaki's food culture, this event bustles with numerous visitors every year and attracts wide media attention. The venue is "Motenashi Hiroba," located about a 10-minute walk from the West Exit of Takasaki Station. On the day, Dolce Hiroba will also be held concurrently in front of the Music Center.
