In this paper, we describe light emission from electric stimulation of TAKUAN which isrepresentative of the pickled Japanese radish. As a result of experiments on various pickled radish we confirmed that strong light emission appeared in TAKUAN. Steam, along with a peculiar smell isobserved when alternating current or direct current voltage is gradually applied in TAKUAN. The light emission, which is accompanied by a discharge phenomenon within the TAKUAN that is in contact with the electrode, appears after the generation of the steam. We conclude that flame reaction is associated with this light emission because black powder was formed after the light emission. This light emission was observed in the vicinity of the electrode and soon after the steam ends regardless of type of power supply and polarity. The emission process appears quickly after the generation of steam stops.
