Default help with translation from Japanese

If any of you Neoficionados ( I am thinking of Hakumin but anyone is welcome ) could help me with the translation of this label, it would be great. A friend of mine just got this Neo straight from Japan and is wondering what secrets of Neofinetia culture could be hidden in this strange writing (no offense intended!)

Thanks a lot
