チル飲み

• 読み: チルのみ
• ローマ字: chiru nomi
• 漢字の分解: From English 'chill' (チル) + 飲み (drinking) → chill drinking session
• 発音: /t͡ɕi.ɾu no.mi/

意味

A relaxed, low-key drinking session with friends, emphasizing a calm and easygoing atmosphere rather than rowdy partying.

Combining the English 'chill' with 飲み (drinking), this term reflects the growing preference among younger Japanese people for mellow, intimate drinking over boisterous nomikai. A チル飲み might involve a few friends at a quiet bar, a terrace, or at home with nice music — the emphasis is on the vibe rather than getting drunk.

1. 今日はチル飲みでまったりしない？
