サク飲み

• 読み: サクのみ
• ローマ字: saku nomi
• 漢字の分解: サク (from サクッと 'quickly/crisply') + 飲み (drinking, from 飲む 'to drink') → a quick drink
• 発音: /sa.ku no.mi/

意味

A quick, casual drink — grabbing one or two drinks before heading home, without committing to a full drinking session.

サク飲み comes from サクッと (quickly, crisply) + 飲み (drinking) and describes a short, low-commitment drinking stop. It is very common among office workers who want a quick beer after work without the time commitment of a full 飲み会. Standing bars (立ち飲み屋) are the quintessential サク飲み venue. The concept appeals to busy schedules and the desire for a casual social moment.
