To provide an inkjet recording method which enables high image quality recording in water-based ink on non-absorbency or low absorbency media.

In the inkjet recording method, an image is formed by making the water-based ink adhere to the non-absorbency or low absorbency media. The image is formed while the media are heated. The water-based ink contains a first solvent having a boiling point of 210-280C, a second solvent having a boiling point 150-280C, a coloring agent insoluble in water, a water soluble resin, thermoplastic resin particles, silicone-based surfactant, and water. Surface tension, when the first solvent is an aqueous solution, is higher than the surface tension, when the second solvent is an aqueous solution.
