Along with [[tanyao]], yakuhai are among the easiest yaku to learn and use. It is the simple collection of particular wind tiles or any group of dragon tiles. As for the rest of the hand, players are free to form any tile grouping, that they wish whether open or closed. Typically, yakuhai are open hands, as possession of the appropriately paired tiles makes it easy to complete by calling on the discarded third tile, or sometimes fourth. This ability makes this yaku exceptionally convenient, for the completion of fast hands. Therefore, this yaku is also called "express ticket". | Along with [[tanyao]], yakuhai are among the easiest yaku to learn and use.

The definitions of [[tanyao]], [[junchan]], and [[chinitsu]] eliminates the use of honor tiles all together. Yakuhai groups generate fu; and this prevents a combination with [[pinfu]]. [[ryanpeikou]] requires four sequence groups and [[chiitoitsu]] requires seven distinct pairs; neither has room for a triplet. | The definitions of [[tanyao]], [[junchan]], and [[chinitsu]] eliminates the use of honor tiles all together.

Each yakuhai koutsu (triplet) is a separate yaku worth 1 han. However, the value can be dramatically increased if the particular yakuhai koutsu is indicated as the [[Dora#Dora_order|dora]]. As dora, a hand is already guaranteed 4 han. | |||
If a player's seat wind matches the round wind, a triplet of this wind counts as 2 han instead. For example, the dealer (sitting east) can claim a triplet of the east wind during the east round. It satisfies two different 1-han yaku (yakuhai for seat wind and round wind). Typically, this involves the east and south winds, as games normally involve the east round (tonkyoku) and south round (nankyoku) rounds. Of course, this may apply to the west round (shaakyoku). | |||
