A method of manufacturing a light-emitting device includes arranging a plate-shaped glass on a light-emitting element mounting surface of a substrate having a light-emitting element mounted thereon, arranging a metal thin plate on the plate-shaped glass so as to sandwich the plate-shaped glass between the substrate and the metal thin plate, placing the substrate, the plate-shaped glass and the metal thin plate between a first mold on a side of the substrate and a second mold on a side of the metal thin plate, hot-pressing the substrate, the plate-shaped glass and the metal thin plate by using the first mold and the second mold to seal the light-emitting element with the plate-shaped glass, and after cooling the plate-shaped glass, removing the thin plate adhered to the plate-shaped glass from the plate-shaped glass.
