Ume-shu (Japanese plum liqueur) was prepared by the conventional method in this study.
Nonvolatile organic acids of Ume-shu were separated by ion-exchange chromatography.
Analysis of the acids after butylation by gas chromatography led to the detection of eight components, two of which were benzoic and succinic acids not reported hitherto in Ume-shu.
