potential merge with 玄米, but i think it's cleaner separate

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/黒米 
interwiki leading to English article is "black rice"
  Comments:
Just basing this on the facts that

1) the rice IS black in color
2) it'd be helpful to distinguish 黒米 from the "usual" 
unpolished rice (genmai) in the English translation (black 
rice is a separate rice variety from the ones used for 
genmai or hakumai)
3) there is apparently such a term  as "black rice" in 
English, and it seems only loosely defined 
4) ”japanese black rice” comes up with over 20K hits on 
google.
