An aqueous ink capable of forming a circular ink dot, capable of obtaining a recorded matter excellent in solid filling property even in a low liquid absorbing recording medium, and excellent in image quality and scratch resistance, And provide a recording method using the same. A water-based ink containing a pigment (A), a water-soluble organic solvent (C), a surfactant (D), and water, wherein the water content is 40% by mass to 65% by mass A water-based ink in which the surfactant (D) contains the silicone surfactant (d-1) and the acetylene glycol surfactant (d-2) and satisfies the following conditions 1 and 2, and 2) A recording method for recording on a non-liquid absorbing recording medium using the aqueous ink. Condition 1: [content of component (d-1) / content of component (C)] × 100 = 0.15 to 4 Condition 2: [content of component (d-2) / content of component (C)] x 100 = 0.35 to 1.65 【Selection chart】 None |
