Ink jet recording method, and ink jet recording apparatus

An ink jet recording method comprising a recording step of ejecting an aqueous ink from a recording head to apply the aqueous ink to a recording medium to record an image,

• wherein the ink jet recording method uses an ink jet recording apparatus equipped with an ink circulation flow path for circulating the aqueous ink from an ink storage portion to the recording head, with the ink jet recording apparatus comprising the ink storage portion for storing the aqueous ink, the recording head of an ink jet system for ejecting the aqueous ink, a cooling portion for cooling the aqueous ink, a heating portion for heating the aqueous ink, and a pump for circulating the aqueous ink,
• wherein the cooling portion, the pump, the heating portion, and the recording head, which together constitute the ink circulation flow path, are equipped in this order, such that the aqueous ink flows through the ink circulation flow path in this order, with the aqueous ink flowing from the cooling portion to the pump, such that an ink storage portion is not provided between the cooling portion and the pump,
• wherein the cooling portion is provided separately from the ink storage portion,
• wherein the method further includes a step of supplying the aqueous ink cooled in the cooling portion to the pump, and
• wherein the aqueous ink comprises a resin particle.
