So our local chef shop had bottles of black garlic molasses. In my standard mode, if I see something new I have to try it. Imagine my surprise when searching EYB I came up with zero recipes. So I modified a hot chocolate/black garlic recipe to try it out and found it quite pleasant. But does anyone have a recipe that actually calls for black garlic molasses or am I on my own?

This sounds lovely and I don't blame you for buying it.  Never had it, but I love black garlic and can imagine what  black garlic infused molasses must taste like.  How about drizzling over 2 cm diced cream cheese for nibbling.  I would even drizzle over yogurt and eat it just like that.  I like lots of black pepper and vey good quality extra virgin olive oil drizzled over yogurt. 

Thank you ... I'm now off and running in trying it.

I don't have any specific recipes but black garlic tastes great with aubergine. I imagine black garlic molasses would go very well replacing the miso/mirin/sugar in miso-glazed aubergine recipes depending on how sweet it is. 

I am very envious of your local chef shop and would have bought a bottle immediately too!

I'll have to try this suggestion - I love glazed aubergine. A restaurant near my grandson does a fantastic job with the dish.

My favorite find at ChefShop is a trio of aged soy sauces - Haku Sakura Cherry Blossom Shoyu, Haku Mitzunara Whisky Barrel Aged Shoyu, and Haku Smoked Aged Japanese Shoyu. Match the shoyu to the sushi and you're in heaven. Haku also makes a Black Garlic Shoyu and a Matustake Mushroom Shoyu which I have yet to try.

This sounds embarrassing familiar :-)
