About Doug Kuhn

Doug Kuhn preparing sushi

With over 15 years of experience in the art of sushi making, Doug Kuhn combines traditional Japanese techniques with innovative presentation to create memorable culinary experiences. His journey began in Tokyo's bustling fish markets, where he apprenticed under master sushi chefs, learning the precise balance of flavor, texture, and aesthetics that defines true sushi craftsmanship.

Doug's approach to sushi goes beyond mere food preparation—it's an art form that requires the same precision, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving found in his background in technology and engineering. This unique perspective allows him to approach sushi making with both traditional respect and innovative flair.

Based in the Portland/Amity, OR area, Doug is available for private sushi events, restaurant consulting, and sushi workshops that educate and inspire.
