Sotogawa refers to "outside tiles" in the game, specifically number tiles further from the center (5) than a discarded tile. For example, if a 3-pin is discarded early, tiles like 1-pin and 2-pin are considered safer due to the sotogawa theory.
This strategy applies to early discards (first six) and assumes opponents play with tiles. It’s less effective against beginners or after a riichi declaration, where sotogawa tiles may become riskier.
Example: "If a 3 is discarded, 1 and 2 are safer due to sotogawa."
Related Concepts: Suji (tiles 3 away) and matagi suji (a related tile safety mechanism).
