This Oden spread to Kamigata (Kyoto and Osaka area), where it came to be called 'Kanto daki' (関東炊き) (Kanto-style boiled food) or 'Kanto daki' (関東煮) (the possible origins of the latter 'Kanto daki' are said to be 'Kantofu ni' [squids, octopuses, and other ingredients boiled and seasoned with soy sauce] or 'Canton ni').
それが上方に伝わり「関東炊き」や「関東煮（かんとだき）」と呼ばれるようになった（関東煮の語源については「かんとうふ煮」説や中国の煮込み料理に由来する「広東煮」説もある）。
