An up-thawing continuous casting method includes drawing up molten metal (M1) held in a holding furnace (101), through a shape determining member (102) that determines a sectional shape of a cast casting (M3). The sectional shape determined by the shape determining member (102) includes a round-cornered portion, and a value (Rf) of a curvature radius of the round-cornered portion that is determined by the shape determining member (102) is smaller than a design value (Rt) of a curvature radius of a round-cornered portion of the casting (M3).
