Kitchen receiving one receptacle from an adjacent room (code question)

I almost fully understand the requirements of the NEC concerning kitchens, specifically the minimum 2 small appliance circuits. I understand that they're only meant to serve the kitchen, pantry, dining area.

There's one wall in my kitchen that requires only 1 receptacle, but getting any of the small appliance circuits here would be difficult.It would be much easier if I could use the circuit in an adjacent room.

By doing this, does the adjacent room circuit change definition? does it now become a kitchen circuit that is being shared with another room, even though it serves all the other room's needs and only serves one receptacle in the kitchen? I think I know the answer. By the way -- I already have my 2 required SA circuits in the kitchen without introducing this circuit from the other room.

Thanks

Where in the kitchen is this receptacle and what does it serve?

It most likely needs to be on one of the existing or on a new small appliance circuit.

It will be about knee height on a wall that does not have anything on it (no countertops or cooking equipment) other than 2 doors (one for pantry, one down to basement)
