In general, this yaku is noted as 2 han.  However, it is impossible for this yaku to score without two instances of [[yakuhai]] from the two [[Koutsu|groups]] of sangenpai.  In combination, this yaku will never produce a hand worth less than 4 han.  Even with both sangenpai groups called open, that is a combination of 8 fu; and then there's 2 more fu from the sangenpai pair of the third type. This means that with a closed [[Naki#ron|ron]], or when playing with [[Scoring variations#kiriage mangan|kiriage mangan]], the hand will always score at least mangan; otherwise, the only way to avoid mangan is to avoid any other minipoints and score exactly 4 han 30 fu.
