Provided is an ink jet recording method including heating a recording medium, attaching an aqueous ink composition to the recording medium heated in the heating by ejecting the aqueous ink composition through a nozzle, the aqueous ink composition containing water, a solvent, and resin particles, and blowing wind to a surface of the recording medium in the attaching. The resin particles include particular resin particles that are dispersed in water after leaving a mixture liquid of the particular resin particles to stand for 2 hours at 40° C. and are not dispersed in water after leaving the mixture liquid to stand for 1 hour at 80° C., the mixture liquid containing a composition of the solvent contained in the aqueous ink composition and the particular resin particles as a solid resin component in a mass ratio of 1:1.
