1. A method of manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising a base coating having a peak value PTiN of TiN in the form of osbornite, observed in a range of 42°<2θ<43° and a peak value PSiO 2 of SiO 2 in the form of cristobalite, observed in a range of 23°<2θ<25° of both more than 0 and satisfying a relationship PTiN≥PSiO 2 , in thin-film X-ray diffraction analysis, and an iron loss W 17/50 of 1.0 W/kg or less, the method comprising:

hot rolling a steel slab to obtain a hot rolled sheet, the steel slab having a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.001% to 0.10%, Si: 1.0% to 5.0%, Mn: 0.01% to 0.5%, one or two selected from S and Se: 0.002% to 0.040% in total, sol. Al: 0.001% to 0.050%, and N: 0.0010% to 0.020%, with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities;

optionally hot band annealing the hot rolled sheet;

thereafter cold rolling the hot rolled sheet either once, or twice or more with intermediate annealing performed therebetween, to obtain a cold rolled sheet having a final sheet thickness;

thereafter primary recrystallization annealing the cold rolled sheet, to obtain a primary recrystallization annealed sheet;

performing nitriding treatment on the cold rolled sheet during the primary recrystallization annealing or on the primary recrystallization annealed sheet after the primary recrystallization annealing; and

thereafter applying an annealing separator to the primary recrystallization annealed sheet after the nitriding treatment, and secondary recrystallization annealing the primary recrystallization annealed sheet,

wherein an amount of nitrogen in steel after the nitriding treatment is 150 mass ppm or more and 1000 mass ppm or less,

the annealing separator contains a Ti compound in a range of 0.10 g/m 2 or more and 1.5 g/m 2 or less in Ti mass equivalent, and

in the secondary recrystallization annealing, soaking annealing of 20 hours or more is performed at a predetermined temperature of 800° C. to 950° C. in an oxidizing atmosphere of PH 2 O/PH 2 of 0.05 or more, and then annealing of 5 hours or more is performed in a temperature range of 1000° C. or more in a H 2 -containing atmosphere.

2. The method of manufacturing the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition of the steel slab further contains, in mass %, one or more selected from Ni: 0.005% to 1.50%, Sn: 0.01% to 0.50%, Sb: 0.005% to 0.50%, Cu: 0.01% to 0.50%, Cr: 0.01% to 1.50%, P: 0.0050% to 0.50%, Mo: 0.01% to 0.50%, Nb: 0.0005% to 0.0100%, Ti: 0.0005% to 0.0100%, B: 0.0001% to 0.0100%, and Bi: 0.0005% to 0.0100%.
