Why we don’t have rice noodles in Japan

I realized many countries where people eat rice as staple food have rice noodles, but we don’t have it in Japan, and I’m wondering why.

There are thin ones and thick ones, and there are various flavors, and some come with soup and others don’t.

Rice is, in a sense, very special to the Japanese, and we are educated from an early age that rice should not be wasted. In a word, Japanese love rice so much. So why we only have ordinary rice but not noodles made of rice? Did the old Japanese think that making noodles from rice was a waste of rice?
