Tonight, for the first time ever, I had suishi. It was different than what I expected. Suishi is definitely something that you have to experience for yourself. Someone else can explain it to you, and you can come to have an understanding of it, but you will never really grasp its textures without doing so firsthand.
It's like a kaleidoscope. Sure, you can be told that inside the tube lies a broken pattern of light, color, and imagery that coalesce to make something pretty, but until you look through it yourself true comprehension will escape you.
I'm not saying that suishi is as beautiful as a kaleidoscope, just that the two subjects are equally vague when one lacks the experience to associate with the description.
Suishi rolls are pretty... but still not kaleidoscope pretty.
