An ink jet recording method comprising:

• ejecting an aqueous ink from a recording head to record. an image on a recording medium using an ink jet recording apparatus, the ink jet recording apparatus comprising:
• a first ink storage portion having an air communication part;
• a second ink storage portion;
• and
• a recording head,
• wherein the first ink storage portion has a maximum ink storage amount (V1) 3.0 or more to 50.0 or less times larger than a maximum ink storage amount (V2) of the second ink storage portion, and the ink in the second ink storage portion has a temperature (T2) higher than a temperature (T1) of the ink in the first ink storage portion, and
• wherein the aqueous ink contains a coloring material and a surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 8.0 or more.
