Disclosed are an ink jet recording water-based ink having excellent long-term storage stability and ejection stability at a pigment concentration greater than or equal to a certain level and a simple and efficient method for producing such a water-based ink. The present invention provides an ink jet recording water-based ink in which the total content of polyvalent metals as impurities in the water-based ink is not more than 1.2 ppm in terms of 1 mass% of a pigment concentration. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for producing an ink jet recording water-based ink; the method enables efficient production of the above-mentioned ink jet recording water-based ink through a contact treatment with a particulate chelating resin in which each resin particle contains both an alkali metal-bonded chelating group and a hydrogen-bonded chelating group.
