*''Japanese'': 高崎屋 ''(Takasaki-ya)''

The Takasaki-ya is a liquor store located along Hongô-dôri, just outside of the main Hongô campus of the [[University of Tokyo]]. Originally established in the 18th century, the shop was a [[sake|saké]] and [[soy sauce]] [[goyo shonin|purveyor]] to the [[Maeda clan]] of [[Kaga han]]. Its head in each generation was known as Takasaki Chôemon.

The shop remains today on the former location of the family's much larger mansion complex, located at the intersection of the [[Nakasendo|Nakasendô]] and the [[Nikko Dochu|Nikkô Onarimichi]] (Nikkô Highway). An [[1842]] painting by [[Hasegawa Settan]] and his son [[Hasegawa Settei]] depicts the mansion.
