意味

Drinking every last drop — finishing a bowl of ramen soup or a beverage completely without leaving anything behind.

完飲 is most commonly associated with ramen culture, where finishing the entire soup (which is rich, salty, and calorie-dense) is both an achievement and a compliment to the chef. Ramen fans debate whether 完飲 is worth the health trade-off, making it a regular topic in ramen reviews. The term is also used for finishing any drink completely.

例文

1. このラーメンのスープ美味しすぎて完飲した。
2. 家系ラーメンのスープを完飲するのはさすがにカロリーやばい。
3. 完飲したくなるくらいスープが絶品だった。
