Barbecue with an iron hoe is the etymology of its origin "Shouxi Shao". In the Edo era, when farmers were hungry during their labor, they used the metal parts of hoes instead of iron plates to roast fish and tofu, so it was called "hoe burning". In addition, there is a saying that the word "すきみ" for sliced meat is extended to "peeling and burning" (also pronounced すきき). "すきき" was originally the name of Kansai region, which kanto region called it.

From the Asuka period (the second half of the 7th century) to the Meiji period, Japanese officials banned eating animal meat. It seems that because cows and horses are important labor, people believe that eating them will pay off. (PS: But the meat of birds such as chickens and ducks is allowed. At that time, rabbit meat was also allowed to eat. Therefore, rabbits are not walking animals. Up to now, the quantifier of rabbits still uses "feathers" like birds, "horses" for other small animals and "heads" for big animals. ) But among poor people, people secretly hunt wild animals such as wild boar and deer. Under this trend, beef has also been secretly put on the table. At the end of the shogunate, the first Japanese hotpot restaurant was born in Sanjiaheyuan, Kyoto. During the Meiji period, taking the opportunity of eating beef on Meiji Day H, the ban on people eating meat was also lifted, and "すききき" in Kansai region and "Niu Guo" in kanto region began to become popular among the people.

Later, due to the impact of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, beef hot pot restaurants in kanto region suffered serious losses and gradually disappeared. But the hoe shop in Kansai entered Kanto. The "hoe burning" in Kansai became popular in kanto region. Then combine the hoe burning in Kansai with the beef hot pot in Kanto, and add other seasonings to make the "Kanto Japanese hot pot". "Japanese hot pot" is a world-famous food. Shouxi Shao is a famous song in the Showa era, and it is also the lyrics of Sakamoto Kei's "Forward". It is written in English and has become the only Japanese song to top the list of American Music Weekly.
