Levitas

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly.

I don't get this one.
The figurine looks like a stylized rikishi [sumo player] with salt coming out of his head.

The sumo tradition of first throwing salt to cleanse the ring of evil spirits makes this salt shaker worthy of Levitas, but the allusion of also blessing the fries before doing battle with them moves this into the enchanted realm.

Thank you. Taken out of the context of the sumo ring ritual, I completely failed to make the, now obvious, connection.
Missing for forest for the trees . . . or too fixated on the fries.

Perhaps a Western equivalent would be a vinegar [holy water] dispensing monk.

Is there a word that expresses going over and above perfection? In any language?

And I don’t think there was enough information to grok the video clip. I didn’t get it without explanation, but to put the explanation in the op would give up the riddle too quickly.
