An ink jet recording method in which reaction liquid application S1 to a member to be recorded, first-image formation with ink application S2, liquid absorption S3 from a first image with porous material of a liquid absorption member, cleaning S4 of the porous material, and liquid collection S5 from the porous material are repeatedly performed, wherein, when the first image and the porous material contact each other, a first chemical species contributing to high ink viscosity in a reaction liquid is contained in a greater amount in the member to be recorded and the porous material in a molar equivalent per unit area than a second chemical species contributing to high ink viscosity in ink, and a liquid is collected in the liquid collection S5 so as to remain on a side of the surface of the porous material abutting with the first image. |
