An inkjet recording method comprising a jetting step using a paper sheet, wherein a decay rate of ultrasonic transmittance through the paper sheet after five seconds with respect to ultrasonic transmittance through the paper sheet immediately after immersion of the paper sheet in pure water is from 4% to 26%, and jetting aqueous ultraviolet-curable ink onto a front surface of the paper sheet with an inkjet recording head; a conveyance step of conveying the paper sheet to an exposure section such that an amount of time from the jetting step until exposing the aqueous ultraviolet-curable ink on the paper sheet to ultraviolet light is from 1 second to 8 seconds; and an exposure step of exposing the aqueous ultraviolet-curable ink on the paper sheet to ultraviolet light to thereby cure the aqueous ultraviolet-curable ink.
