Although, it most likely is, considering how we've seen him cut just about anything with it. Like VinnyLam said, his shikai ability has never been confirmed. Though I personally consider Nozarashi to a be a true melee-type with no real special ability (similar to Hōzukimaru) with the only reason he can "cut through anything" being because of his stupidly massive reiatsu, his incredible strength and his masterful swordsmanship.
