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. With a tenpai hand, a player attains this yaku by winning with a drawn tile.
Formation
With this yaku, all closed hands qualify for menzen tsumo. In fact, a closed hand may instantly win by self draw, even when it is the only yaku for the hand.
No open hand may qualify for this yaku.
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, threatening hands, and tile waits.
