A casting apparatus has a long cooling jig inclined with respect to a vertical direction. A melt is supplied to and flowed on a bottom surface of the cooling jig, whereby a solid phase is generated in the melt to obtain a semi-solid slurry, and the semi-solid slurry is transferred into and solidified in a cavity of a mold to obtain a casting. The casting apparatus further has a release agent application unit, and a release agent is applied by the application unit to the bottom surface of the cooling jig in a direction toward a supply of the melt at an angle of less than 90° to the bottom surface before supplying the melt to the cooling jig.
