**History**


The earliest iteration of udon noodles likely originated in China and was introduced to Japan during the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE). The original udon may have been closer to a dumpling than a noodle, and in some parts of Japan, udon is still cut into squares rather than the long strands that became standard by the early fourteenth century.


Traditionally made at home, udon began to be sold in specialty stalls after the popularity of commercial in the seventeenth century. Today, udon is eaten throughout Japan but especially in the south, from Osaka to Kyushu.

Rivilattanzi Inovian

Hello, my name is Rivilattanzi Inovian and my friends call me Rivi. Before SMAN 3 I was in Temasek Independent School, which is an international school located in sindang sirna no 8.  My favorite subjects were usually either physics or maths because they are subjects that are required for my major that I want to take which is mechanical engineering. Other than that, I also like physical education also known as PE because I like playing sports as I am an athlete myself, majoring in baseball mainly but dabble in basketball as well.  A few of my hobbies are like said previously are baseball and basketball, but I also like photography because of how peaceful it is, the peace comes from looking at nature and viewing their true beauty in person not from photos in the internet.  I got in SMAN 3 because it was my targeted school since I got in SMP and hopefully I have the capability to get into a good university once I graduate from here.
