How it's used

This character is a Japanese kanji used exclusively in the context of Japanese cuisine, particularly in the names of high end sushi establishments. It is not a native Chinese character used in everyday speech to refer to the food itself. You will almost always see it as part of a shop name rather than as a standalone noun in a sentence.
