A grain oriented electrical steel sheet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a grain oriented electrical steel sheet base material and a metal oxide layer present on both sides of the grain oriented electrical steel sheet base material. A maximum Al fraction in the metal oxide layer is 0.15 to 1.0 wt %, and a ratio (DWL/DWS) of an average magnetic domain width (DWL) of a side with a large average magnetic domain width to an average magnetic domain width (DWS) of a side with a small average magnetic domain width of one side and the other side of the electrical steel sheet base material is 1.2 to 1.8.
