A Korean restaurant I used to go to for lunch periodically had something
that I think was this type of rice. They made it steamed in individual
bamboo cups and it had a few ingredients in it besides the rice. The
rice had the traces of purple noted in that wiki article. It was quite
good, and as you note, quite different from regular rice.
