The present invention relates to an emulsification method and an emulsification apparatus, capable of attaining easy control of particle size and particle size distribution, and simple scale-up and maintenance, and providing an emulsifying amount sufficient for industrial production. Namely, the method comprises continuously and successively passing two or more types of liquids which are substantially immiscible with each other through two or more mesh members disposed at certain intervals in the presence of an emulsifier to thereby perform emulsification, and the emulsification apparatus as an apparatus for carrying out the method comprises liquid feed pumps for feeding two or more types of liquids which are substantially immiscible with each other, and a cylindrical flow passage to which the two or more types of liquids are fed by the liquid feed pumps, the cylindrical flow passage including a predetermined number of wire gauzes disposed therein at a predetermined interval.
