A recording method is provided which enables formation of an image with high image density and low graininess. The recording is conducted by using a recording method using a first aqueous ink for higher-density recording and a second aqueous ink for lower-density recording, characterized in that the first aqueous ink includes at least water, a water-insoluble coloring material, and plurality of water-soluble organic solvents, the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents including a good medium or good mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material and a poor medium or poor mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material, the ratio B/A in the second aqueous ink being less than the ratio B/A in the first aqueous ink, where A denotes the total content (mass %) of good medium based on the total mass of the aqueous ink and B denotes the total content (mass %) of poor medium based on the total mass of the aqueous ink; and the second aqueous ink has the same hue as the first aqueous ink.
