Also, to provide a food/beverage, a pharmaceutical, a quasi-pharmaceutical, or a cosmetic in which is used a sucrose mixture that includes D-psicose. [Solution] A sugar composition characterized by containing sucrose and D-psicose, crystals of the sucrose being coated with the D-psicose in either a crystalline or amorphous state. The amount of D-psicose contained is 1 to 50 parts by weight with respect to the total weight of 100 parts by weight of the sucrose and the D-psicose.
