1. A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising:
a base steel sheet;
an intermediate layer that is formed on a surface of the base steel sheet and mainly contains silicon oxide; and
an insulation coating that is formed on a surface of the intermediate layer,
wherein a number density of oxide particles in a region from the surface of the base steel sheet to a depth of 10 μm toward an inside of the base steel sheet is 0.020 oxide particles/μm2 or less,
an area rate of an intermediate layer-remaining region in which the intermediate layer does not peel off but remains in a region in which the insulation coating peels off after a bend test performed using a mandrel with a diameter of 10 to 16 mm according to JIS K 5600 May 1 (1999) is 20% or more, and
in a case where the evaluation area of insulation peeling defined by the following expression is less than 5%, the area rate of the intermediate layer-remaining region is re-evaluated by using a mandrel having a smaller diameter and is 20% or more,
(Evaluation area of insulation coating peeling)=(diameter of mandrel)×(ratio of circumference to diameter)÷2.
