A copper paste for joining contains metal particles and a dispersion medium, in which the copper paste for joining contains copper particles as the metal particles, and the copper paste for joining contains dihydroterpineol as the dispersion medium. A method for manufacturing a joined body is a method for manufacturing a joined body which includes a first member, a second member, and a joining portion that joins the first member and the second member, the method including: a first step of printing the above-described copper paste for joining to at least one joining surface of the first member and the second member to prepare a laminate having a laminate structure in which the first member, the copper paste for joining, and the second member are laminated in this order; and a second step of sintering the copper paste for joining of the laminate.
