Recommend two sauces

Going thru the Sunday paper ads this morning (yeah, I’m old) I noted that Popeye’s, Chick-fil-A and Louisiana Kitchen (which we don’t have, why do we get their ads?) offer Hot Honey chicken dishes.  I also just realized that Church’s Fried Chicken apparently isn’t here any more, hmm.  
I’m not a “meat-with-sweet” fan, so I have no interest in trying them, but I’ve been looking for the Japanese Barbeque Sauce locally; no luck yet.    

Amazon delivered it to my door. Gotta pay for Bezos next space ride someway.

I was at Global Foods today, a regular sized super market that has each isle dedicated to different countries/regions.  I was in the japanese isle and couldn't find any BBQ sauce.  Is this a real thing?  There were plenty of BBQ suaces in the Korean section.  I'm also bumming out because they didn't have the sweet soy sauce I like and I'm out.

That sounds like a cool market, despite their omissions.  

It is. I just love the store.  To bad it doesn't have one of those live fish sections, frozen only.  They even sell rabbit in the frozen isle.  

I make it a point to buy one thing I've never tried before per trip. I discovered Japanese sweet potatoes this week. Mind blown to how good they are.  I have no idea how I could be on planet over 40 years and nobody told me about Japanese sweet potato.

I think there are white and purple ones, so if you’re taking about the purple ones, I think @JohnInCarolina has a sweet potato pie recipe that uses them.  

He's probably talking about Yaki Imo, which are common Japanese sweet potatoes.  The purple ones are Beni Imo, and they're particular to Okinawa.  

In fact the sweet potato pie recipe I have is for standard white sweet potatoes you'd find in the US.  It is my grandmother's recipe.

I would love to see the recipe. Sweet potato pie is way up there on my list. 

I posted it a few years ago here.  See this post:

I spotted that Japanese Barbeque at hew new Ace Hardware that just opened up in Rowlett. Guess I'll have to stop and get some today since I was already planning on hitting the Spec's which is right next door to load up on the brown water. 

It's worth a try. Honestly, it's super easy to make. I have been making that yakitori sauce for years without the tomato paste. Throw a little in and it's a dead ringer.
