Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus

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;
• 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,
• wherein the aqueous ink contains a pigment and a first water-soluble organic solvent having a relative dielectric constant of 10.0 or more to 30.0 or less at a temperature of 25° C., and a first water-soluble organic solvent content S (% by mass) is 2.0 or more to 10.0 or less times higher than a pigment content P (% by mass), and
• wherein, during the ejecting, the aqueous ink has a temperature at which a ratio of a viscosity of the aqueous ink in the recording head (ηB) to a viscosity of the aqueous ink at a temperature of 25° C. (ηA) is 0.8 or less.
