Shouldn't that be gluteus rice?

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.

Yes, traditionally it is cooked in a large cooker that looks like an old
fashioned spitoon. A cone of parchment paper is stuck in the top and a
cheesecloth packet of the rice is put in to be steamed. The kids I
worked with were too poor to have any fancy bamboo cups like a
restraint, but they did have really cool three level stacked bamboo
lunch boxes..

Here, I found a picture of a "traditional" cooker...

I have always wanted one of these but like I said earlier, I just use my
wok and a wire basket for now...

We call that stuff "mochi" rice. You can buy a purple sweet rice dish
with little red beans at Korean and Japanese stores. They would serve it
at family get-togethers but that stuff seemed weird to me. Thai
restaurants will serve mochi rice and it's easy to spot because it looks
translucent. I don't care much for that stuff either but my sons dig it.
You can easily spot raw mochi rice because it's opaque instead of
translucent. Weird.

Mochiko flour is made from this type of rice and I've made a baked dish
out of it with eggs and butter and coconut milk and sugar many times -
it's dead simple and tasty if you like that kind of stuff.

When you eat it, it goes to your gluteus maximus.
