TEOTERASU IDE

Teoterasu Ide is a community hub for regional development and interactions that opened right next to Ide Town Hall in 2023.
Teoterasu Ide has a direct sales corner offering a wide range of goods such as fresh produce, bento boxed meals, sweets, alcoholic beverages, and more.
Additionally, it has a stylish cafe space serving its signature dishes made with local specialties. Ide Janmen is a spicy miso ramen made with local miso (fermented bean paste) and bamboo shoots. It’s very addictive. Ide Ohgon Purin (Ide Golden Pudding) is made with Kyoto’s eggs and Kyoto-produced milk. It’s a rich and creamy custard that highlights the natural flavor of eggs. You can find more food made with locally sourced ingredients.
The facility also serves as a gathering spot for local people. There are various events throughout the year, and it’s a fun place for all ages, from children to the elderly.
Visit Ide Town. Abundant nature, delicious food and warm people are waiting for you.
