Unidic suggests this as alternative form. The ngram count is very high, but seems to be based on mis-parsing of terms like 唐揚げ屋.

  Comments:
“brothel” is a bit misleading – these establishments did not employ prostitutes directly, but rather were just a *venue* for out-call prostitutes (and parties generally). This custom is different from the west, so it’s easily confused (compare modern お茶屋 and 置屋).
