Trying to make this recipe

https://www.justonecookbook.com/wprm_print/baked-japanese-sweet-potatoes-yaki-imo

But it doesn't turn out as good with regular orange sweet potatoes and I live in a regional town and I don't know if my local Asian stores will have them because they don't have websites I can check so I'm wondering is anyone knows which sweet potato type here in Aus is closest to the Japanese sweet potato.

The most common variety in Japan is the satsuma imo (satsuma potato) if that helps at all.

I'm sure I've seen them in specialty fruit and veg stores, but I am struggling to find them as well.

Found these: https://marketplacefresh.com.au/vegetables/potatoes-pumpkins/sweet-potato-white-medium but its the opposite colour scheme :(
