Menzenchin tsumohou 「門前清自摸和」, otherwise referred as menzen tsumo or even simpler tsumo 「ツモ」, is a yaku involving closed hands. Literally, a player with a closed tenpai hand may win with tsumo, as this is a yaku all on its own.
Formation
All closed hands qualify for menzen tsumo, even if it is the only yaku. Declaring riichi is not required. No open hand may qualify for this yaku - the instant a player calls on a discarded tile, this yaku is invalidated.

Menzen tsumo with toitoi is actually the yakuman, suuankou. Otherwise, this yaku is compatible with all yaku except for houtei and chankan. Neither of those two yaku can win by self-draw.
With riichi
This yaku is typically accompanied with riichi. Of course, the use of riichi is only advisable on the current state of the game: current point standing, other player riichi calls, potentially threatening hands, tile waits, and tile availability. At times, it may simply be advisable to utilize damaten, rather than putting oneself at risk.
