It really depends on how you look at it.

Sushi's first origins were arguably in China. Fish was stored in fermented rice as a means of preserving it, but the rice was never actually eaten with the fish. It was thrown away, so if you consider fish stored in rice to be the origin, then the answer would be China.

After the storage idea had migrated to Japan, the Japanese took it further, and started eating the rice with the fish. It wasn't until the early 17th century, once again in Japan, that they started to season the rice (instead of the long process of fermenting it), and selling it as "sushi." Japan later sparked many further developments of this food type. So, if you mean the current food form, I would say Japan.

Japan. The chefs of Japan have created an entire genre of cuisine with sushi (cooked rice and raw fish) and sashimi (raw sliced meat and fish).
