Hello, alifanoorameilia. You may use mirin instead of Sake but keep in mind that mirin is sweeter, so you may need to adjust the sweetness in the recipe.
If Sake is not used for the marinade in the recipe, water or Dashi can be used instead.

A possible substitute for Japanese sweet potato is “boniato”, popular in cuban cuisine. It has a similar appearance and taste. It is available in some grocery stores in south F lorida.
