Grain-oriented electrical steel sheet

A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet in which a forsterite film is not present between a base steel sheet and a tension-insulation coating, wherein the base steel sheet contains:

• 0.085% by mass or less of C;
• 0.80 to 7.00% by mass of Si;
• 0.05 to 1.00% by mass of Mn:
• 0.065% by mass or less of acid-soluble Al;
• 0.003% by mass or less of S;
• 0.0040% by mass or less of N;
• 0.0005 to 0.0080% by mass of B;
• 0 to 0.50% by mass of P;
• 0 to 1.00% by mass of Ni;
• 0 to 0.30% by mass of Sn;
• 0 to 0.30% by mass of Sb;
• 0 to 0.40% by mass of Cu;
• 0 to 0.30% by mass of Cr;
• 0 to 0.01% by mass of Bi;
• and
• a remainder of Fe and impurities as a chemical composition thereof, and
• in a case in which a cross section perpendicular to a rolling direction of the base steel sheet is viewed, when a region having a length of 10 μm from a surface of the base steel sheet toward the inside of the base steel sheet in a sheet thickness direction of the base steel sheet and a length of 20 mm in a direction perpendicular to the sheet thickness direction is an observation region, needle-like inclusions having a length of 1 μm or more are not present in the observation region.
