Sanshoku doujun 「三色同順」 is a standard yaku. This yaku involves sequences of the same numbered tiles across the three main suits. The short hand sanshoku generally refers to this yaku, rather than the significantly more difficult to achieve sanshoku doukou yaku. It can also be referred as sanshiki 「さんしき」.
