About this pattern
Explanation
抜きで is used to indicate that something should be done or considered without including a certain item or factor. It is common in everyday requests, menus, and arrangements when someone has dietary restrictions, preferences, or aims to simplify a situation by omitting something. The nuance is like 'without X' or 'excluding X' and is often used in informal or service contexts. Note that it is placed after the thing being omitted and can stand alone after the noun.
